Configuring an Authentication Method
Configuration>Security>Authentication in Expert mode brings up the form shown in the following figure.
Authentication Configuration Form
The administrator uses the Authentication forms for two main purposes:
The default authentication method for the KVM/net is Local. The administrator can either accept the default or select one of the other authentication methods from the drop-down list on the AuthType form.
See To Configure an Authentication Method for KVM/net Logins for the procedure.
Any authentication method chosen for the KVM/net is used for authentication of any users attempting access through telnet, ssh, or the WMI.
The administrator fills out one of the tabbed forms to set up an authentication server for each authentication method to be used by the KVM/net and by any of its ports: RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos, SMB (ports only), NIS.
