Choosing Among Authentication Methods
The administrator can either accept the defaults or select among the many, common, authentication methods available for the following types of access:
The authentication method chosen for the OnSite is used for subsequent access through telnet, ssh, or the Web Manager. By default, logins to the OnSite use Local authentication.
By default, logins to all serial ports use no authentication.
By default, logins to the KVM ports use Local authentication
Note: KVM port authentication only applies when KVM ports are configured for direct access and a user accesses the KVM port from the Web Manager login screen.
