Appendix D: Coalesce Security
D.6 Software Security and Access Options
In addition to system-level security, the Coalesce software itself provides users with the ability to secure their meetings. Both the
Coalesce software and the configuration panel can be configured to enforce authentication through password access. Some of
the security features include:
• Disable/Enable Local Configuration: Administrators can disallow configuration of the Coalesce software without the use of an
administrator password.
• Open Access: Users are not explicitly authenticated by Coalesce. Users on the same network are able to discover, and connect
to the display. Connected users in this mode are able to control and share files to the display.
• Password Lock: Administrators can lock access to the display using a pre-defined password. Subsequent connections require a
password authentication process. Password exchange utilizes TLS encryption.
• Moderator Mode: A moderator password can regulate session access and posting ability from guest users. Moderators must
enter a moderator key at connection time. Password exchange uses TLS encryption.
• Screen Key: An on-screen must be entered by users at connection time. The on-screen key is a 4-digit alphanumeric code that is
randomly generated. The alphanumeric code is re-generated when users disconnect.
