If the Dominion KX II is configured to interact with an external
RADIUS, LDAP, or Active Directory server, users attempting to
access the local port will authenticate against the same server.
If the external authentication servers are unavailable, the Dominion
KX II fails-over to its own internal authentication database.
The Dominion KX II has its own standalone authentication, enabling
instant, out-of-the-box installation.
If I use the local port to change the name of a connected server,
does this change propagate to remote access clients as well? Does
it propagate to the optional CommandCenter unit?
Yes. The local port presentation is identical and completely in sync with
remote access clients, as well as Raritan's optional CommandCenter
Secure Gateway management device. To be clear, if the name of a
server via the Dominion KX II onscreen display is changed, this updates
all remote clients and external management servers in real-time.
If I use the Dominion KX II's remote administration tools to change
the name of a connected server, does that change propagate to the
local port OSD as well?
Yes. If the name of a server is changed remotely, or via Raritan's
optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway management unit, this
update immediately affects the Dominion KX II's onscreen display.
Sometimes I see "shadows" on the local port user interface. Why
does that occur?
This shadow/ghosting effect may occur with LCD monitors that have
been on for long periods. The LCD properties and the electrical/static
charge can produce these effects when the screen is on for a long time.
