2.. Web Configuration Interface

Search Base – The Search Base field should be populated with the location in the Active Directory in which the search is taking place.

Search Password – The Search Password field should be populated with the password for the user account that is being used to query the Active Directory.

Confirm Password – Re-enter the password into this field to confirm that you have entered it correctly.

Mode – The Mode section allows you to define the User Name and Access Rights attributes that are used during authentication, as well as how access rights get assigned to an authenticated account. Reference the following screenshots and descriptions of the Mode fields when adding this information.

Type – The Type drop-down menu allows you to choose between three methods of assigning access rights to authenticated accounts: Basic, User, and Group.

o Basic – When selected, this method authenticates accounts that log in, and gives each account full access rights to the KVM switch.

o User – When selected, this method authenticates accounts that log in, and gives them access rights to the KVM switch based on those that are assigned to them via a dedicated Access Rights attribute.

o Group – When selected, this method authenticates accounts that log in, and gives them access rights to the KVM switch based on which Group they belong to. Access rights for Groups are based on those that are assigned to them via a dedicated Access Rights attribute.

User Name Attribute – The User Name Attribute field should be populated with the name of the attribute that contains the user login name for an account. Note: The name that an account uses to log into the KVM switch cannot contain any spaces. If the user login name contains a space, authentication will not be successful.

Access Rights Attribute – The Access Rights Attribute field is only needed when User or Group is selected in the Type drop-down menu. It should be populated with the name of a directory attribute that contains the Access Rights Permission String (See the Access Rights Permission String section for details), which determines what rights a User or Group has to the KVM. Any directory attribute that can contain strings may be used to hold the Access Rights Permission String, so you can either re-purpose an existing attribute or create a brand new one.
