Enabled
The OnSite administrator can also configure an authentication method that
applies to all KVM ports when the following conditions are true:
• The administrator has configured the KVM ports for direct access
• The user accesses the KVM port from the Web Manager login screen.
If a user logs into the Web Manager before connecting to a KVM port, that
user is authenticated using the OnSite’s authentication method; the user can
then connect to KVM ports without authentication.
Direct access can only be enabled if the OnSite’s security profile allows it.
Only the “Open” and “Custom” security profiles allow direct access to KVM
ports to be configured.
