Security Profiles
A Security Profile consists of a set of parameters that can be configured in order to have more control over the services that are active at any time. There are three pre-defined security profiles with pre-set parameters. In addition, a Custom profile is provided where an administrator can configure individual protocols and services.
The first step in configuring your AlterPath KVM is to define a Security Profile. One of the following situations is applicable when you boot up the KVM unit.
1.
In this situation when you boot KVM up and login as an administrator to the WMI, a security warning dialog box appears. The WMI is redirected to “Step1: Security Profile”. Further navigation to other sections of the WMI is not possible without selecting or configuring a Security Profile. Once you select or configure a Security Profile and save the changes, KVM restarts.
2.
In this situation the KVM was already in use and certain configuration parameters were saved in the flash memory. In this case KVM automatically retrieves the “Custom Security Profile” parameters saved in the flash memory and behaves as it was a normal reboot.
3.
In this situation the system detects the pre-defined security profile. You can continue working in the WMI.
