8.1Logging In

To log in from an Internet browser:

1.Using the IP Address (see section 7.6.3, Network) and Default Web Page Name (see section 7.6.5, Security) given to you by your system administrator, log in to the KVM switch via your web browser.

Note: If browser access is denied (see section 7.6.6, Customization), you will need to obtain the Windows Client or Java Client API program from your system administrator to access the KVM switch.

2.When you log in to the KVM switch from your Web browser, a Security

Alert message appears to inform you that the device’s certificate is not trusted, and asks if you want to proceed.

The certificate can be trusted, but the alert is triggered because the certificate’s name is not found on Microsoft’s list of Trusted Authorities. You have two options:

•If you are working on a computer at another location, accept the certificate for just this session by clicking Yes.

•If you are working at your own computer, install the certificate on your computer (see below for details). After the certificate is installed, it will be recognized as trusted.

Installing the Certificate

1.In the Security Alert dialog box, click View Certificate. The Certificate dialog box appears.

Note: There is a red and white X logo over the certificate to indicate that it is not trusted.

2.Click Install Certificate.

3.Follow the Installation Wizard to complete the installation. Unless you have a specific reason to choose otherwise, accept the default options. The Wizard presents a caution screen:

4.Click Yes

5.Click Finish to complete the installation.

6.Click OK to close the dialog box. The certificate is now trusted:

When you click View Certificate, you can see that the red and white X logo is no longer present – further indication that the certificate is trusted.

After accepting/installing the certificate, a login page appears:

Provide a valid Username and Password (set up by the system administrator), then Click Login to continue.

Note: 1. If you supply an invalid login, the authentication routine will return a message stating, Invalid Username or Password. Please try again. If you exceed the number of login failures set by the administrator, a message stating that The page cannot be displayed, appears. This is done to confuse and discourage hackers from trying to discover a valid Username and Password. If you see this message, try logging in again being careful with the Username and Password.

2.If you are the Administrator and are logging in for the first time, use the default Username: administrator; and the default Password: password. For security purposes, we strongly recommend you remove these and give yourself a unique Username and Password (see section 7.6.1, User Management).

After you have successfully logged in, the KVM switch’s Main webpage appears with the General dialog box displayed:

Note: This is the same dialog box that appears whenever you click the General icon at the top left of the page.
