Encryption settings

The LINDY KVM IP offers a great deal of flexibility in its configuration and this extends equally to its encryption settings. Due to the variety of situations in which it might be used and the range of viewer applications that need to view it, a number of settings are available that might not make perfect sense at first glance. However, these settings should allow you to configure the LINDY KVM IP and the viewers to operate as required.

Factors to consider when setting these options might be:

Do all of the connections and operations require encryption?

Will some users be using older VNC viewer versions?

LINDY KVM IP encryption settings

The LINDY KVM IP configuration page offers three encryption settings:

Always on - This setting will force all viewers to use encryption. Note:

 

This setting will preclude any VNC viewer versions that do not support

 

encryption.

Prefer off - This setting does not enforce encryption unless a viewer

 

specifically requests it. If a viewer has its ‘Let server choose’ setting, then an

 

un-encrypted link will be set up.

Prefer on - This setting generally enforces encryption unless an earlier

Viewer encryption settings

The web browser viewers and VNC viewers (of level 4.0b5S or higher) offer four encryption settings:

Always on - This setting will ensure that the link is encrypted, regardless of the LINDY KVM IP encryption setting.

Let server choose - This setting will follow the configuration of the LINDY KVM IP. If the LINDY KVM IP has ‘Always on’ or ‘Prefer on’ set, then the link will be encrypted. If the ‘Prefer off’ setting is selected at the LINDY KVM IP, then the link will not be encrypted.

Prefer off - This setting will configure an un-encrypted link if the LINDY KVM IP will allow it, otherwise it will be encrypted.

Prefer on - If the LINDY KVM IP allows it, this setting will configure an encrypted link, otherwise it will be un-encrypted.
