9.3.2.6 Operating KVM.net II in External Authentication mode
In External Authentication (LDAP) Mode, KVM.net II Manager will no longer
allow login for the users that were created in Local Authentication mode. These
users will be deleted. New users will be imported from Active Directory.
KVM.net II Manager will validate all user credentials against the LDAP server
only.
Only the “admin” account retains local authentication as a “backdoor” account.
This user has KVM.net II local access. Admin account is allowed to manage
KVM.net II with "Administrator" access privileges. However, "admin" is not
permitted to connect to Targets. This account will allow reversing the External
Authentication Mode at any time to local authentication mode.
There is no direct access to any IP device, even to its Configuration page. KVM.net
II will act as a gateway.
When changing KVM.net II to Local Authentication mode, all imported users
appear as “inactive”. To re-activate the users, the administrator must set a password
for each account.
Clicking the New User button on the Users page - see page 21 - opens the Import
LDAP Users window.
