Restrict or deny access to a serial port by specifying one or more users or groups.

You can deny access to one or more users or groups by entering an exclamation point (!) before the user or group name.

For example, to explicitly deny access to a user called noadmin and enable access only to a single user called johnd you would enter the following:

!noadmin,johnd. Successive names are separated by a comma.

Select an authentication type for the serial port from the pull-down list. The default is no authentication (Type=None).

NOTE: Authentication type None is not a valid option when the serial port is configured for Power Management connection protocol. The system defaults to Local if no authentication type is selected.
