data transfer. Note that because the SSL protocol was not designed for KVM communication,
this mode is less efficient but no more secure than the recommended setting, above.
PC Share Mode – Determines global concurrent remote access, enabling up to eight remote users
to simultaneously log on to one KX unit and concurrently view and control the same target server
through the device. Click on the drop-down arrow to select one of the following:
Private Mode (default): No PC Share. Each target server can be accessed exclusively by
only one user at a time.
PC Share Mode: Target servers can be accessed by eight users (administrator or non-
administrator) at one time. Control is based on first active keyboard/mouse input, so multiple
remote users attempting keyboard input or mouse movement at exactly the same moment
may experience uneven control.
Note: PC Share Mode is a global setting. For individual user access settings see Keyboard
and Mouse Control and Concurrent Access Mode on the User Account Settings screen.
Each user profile can be set individually to enable/disable keyboard and mouse control, and
concurrent access.
Log Out Idle Users: Click on the check box to automatically disconnect remote users after a
certain amount of inactive time has passed. Type the amount of time in the After field.
Note: If you invoke KX Manager via the Admin channel in RRC, be aware that this timer can affect your
session. Launch KX Manager outside of RRC or disable this parameter for the session to avoid having
RRC’s user idle time logout your KX Manager session.
Enable Strong Passwords: Requires user passwords to have a minimum of 6 characters with at
least one alphabetical character and one non-alphabetical character (punctuation or number). The
first four characters of the password and the username cannot match. Strong password rules affect
only those usernames and passwords stored by Dominion KX. If you configure the device to
authenticate to a remote server such as LDAP, RADIUS, or Active Directory, these rules are not
enforced by the device (please see the section Remote Authentication in this chapter for more
information on remote authentication).
Enable Multiple Logins: When this rule is selected, a given username/password combination can
be connected into the device from multiple client workstations at a time.
Password Expiration Time: Type a number of days in this field to force users to change their
passwords after a set duration.
Private Key: Type a private key password. Only those remote users who know the private key, in
addition to their own usernames and passwords, can log in and connect to the device.
Re-Enter Private key: Type private key password again for confirmation. Remember that
passwords are case sensitive. Private key passwords must be alphanumeric; special characters
cannot be used.
Local Device Reset Mode: Determines how the local factory and password reset feature in the
OSD operates. Click on the drop down arrow to select one of the following:
Enable local factory reset (Default)
Enable local admin password reset
Disable all local resets
