Set Escape Sequence
To set the Escape sequence, ensure that the default Escape sequence
set on the Dominion SX server does not conflict with a key sequence
required by either the Access Client or the host operating system. The
Escape key sequence is user-configurable. Console sub-mode should be
displayed when the default escape key sequence ^] (programmable) is
pressed.
The escape sequence is programmable per port because different target
operating systems and host applications may trap different escape key
sequences.
Port Sharing Using CLI
Access Client users can share ports with other authenticated and
authorized users, regardless of whether they are Access Client users or
SSH/Telnet users. Port sharing is used for training or for troubleshooting
applications.
 Users are notified in real time if they have Write access or Read Only
access at any point during the port-sharing session.
 Users can request Write permission to a port.
Configuring Authorization and Authentication (AA) Services
Dominion SX supports both local and remote authentication and
authorization (AA) services. Local databases for AA are maintained in an
encrypted format to prevent unauthorized access.
Remote Services
For remote services, Dominion SX supports LDAP, Active Directory
®
,
TACACS+ and Kerberos. The Dominion SX server supports an
additional level of security services that further enhance protection of the
console server. These services are:
 Idle timeout for inactive users
 User defined certificates
 Security profiles
