2.. Web Configuration Interface

2..4..12 Authentication

The Authentication page allows you to set up remote authentication via RADIUS and/or LDAP/S server. From the Configuration section, select the Authentication tab to open this page.

Enable Authentication Methods – The section at the top of the Authentication page determines which types of authentication are enabled, and what priority they take when authenticating a user. For example, when all three methods are enabled in the order of Local, LDAP, and RADIUS, the KVM’s local user accounts will be checked first during authentication, followed by the LDAP server, and finally the RADIUS server. By default, Local authentication is permanently enabled and given the highest priority. To enable or disable LDAP and/or RADIUS authentication, simply check or uncheck the corresponding checkbox. To switch the priority of LDAP and RADIUS authentication, highlight the desired option by clicking on it, and then click on the Up and Down buttons to move it up and down in the list.

LDAP/S Authentication Settings – Once enabled in the Enabled Authentications Methods section just described, LDAP/S authentication is set up using the fields in the Authentication Sources section. To setup LDAP/S authentication, make sure that the LDAP tab in the Authentication Sources section is selected, and then follow the instructions below.

Servers – At the bottom of the page, the Servers section allows you to add LDAP/S servers to the KVM. As with the authentication methods in the Enabled Authentication Methods section at the top of the page, LDAP/S servers can be listed according to priority. The first server in the list will be the first one accessed by the KVM during authentication, followed by the second server, etc.. To avoid performance issues during the authentication process, it is recommended that you add no more than three LDAP/S servers.
