Force HTTPS

If this option is enabled access to the web front-end is only possible using an HTTPS connection. The IP-KVM switch will not listen on the HTTP port for incoming connections.

In case you want to create your own SSL certificate that is used to identify the IP-KVM switch refer to the Section called Certificate .

KVM encryption

This option controls the encryption of the RFB protocol. RFB is used by the Remote Console to transmit both the screen data to the administrator machine and keyboard and mouse data back to the host. If set to `Off' no encryption will be used. If set to `Try' the applet tries to make an encrypted connection. In case connection establishment fails for any reason an unencrypted connection will be used.

If set to “ Force ” the applet tries to make an encrypted connection. An error will be reported in case connection establishment fails.

IP Access Control

This section explains the settings related to IP access control. It is used to limit the access to a distinguished number of clients only. These clients will be identified by their IP address from which they are trying to build up a connection.

Warning

The IP access control settings apply to the LAN interface only!

Enable IP Access Control

Enables access control based on IP source addresses.
