Chapter 4: Local Console Access

199

Simultaneous Users

The Dominion KX Local Console provides an independent access path to
your connected servers. Using the Local Console does not prevent users
from simultaneously connecting over the network and, even when users
have connected to the Dominion KX over the network, you may still
simultaneously access your servers from the rack via the Local Console.

Security and Authentication

To use the Dominion KX Local Console, first authenticate with a valid
user name and password. The Dominion KX provides a fully-integrated
authentication and security scheme, whether you access the Dominion
KX via the network or via the Local Console. In both cases, users use the
same user name and password and the Dominion KX allows access only
to those servers to which a user has access permissions (see
Administrative Functions (on page 146) for additional information on
creating server access and security settings).

If your Dominion KX has been configured for external authentication
services (LDAP, Active Directory, or RADIUS), authentication attempts
at the Local Console also are authenticated against the external
authentication service.
