Question Answer
Can I connect an
existing analog KVM
switch to the Dominion
KX? Yes. You can connect your analog KVM switch to one of the
Dominion KX's server ports. Simply use a PS/2 Computer
Interface Module (CIM), and attach it to the user ports of your
existing analog KVM switch. Note that analog KVM switches
vary in their specifications and Raritan cannot guarantee the
interoperability of any particular third-party analog KVM
switch. Contact Raritan technical support for further
information. Raritan's Paragon and Paragon II analog switches
are IP enabled by the IP-Reach family of remote access products.
Security
Question Answer
What kind of encryption
does the Dominion KX
use? The Dominion KX utilizes industry-standard (and extremely
secure) 128-bit RC4 encryption, both in its SSL communications
as well as its own data stream. Literally no data is transmitted
between remote clients and the Dominion KX that is not
completely secured by encryption.
Does the Dominion KX
allow encryption of
video data? Or does it
only encrypt keyboard
and mouse data? Unlike competing solutions, which only encrypt keyboard and
mouse data, the Dominion KX does not compromise your
security - it allows encryption of keyboard, mouse and video
data.
How does the Dominion
KX integrate with
external authentication
servers such as Active
Directory, RADIUS, or
LDAP? Through a very simple configuration, the Dominion KX can be
set to forward all authentication requests to an external server
such as LDAP, Active Directory, or RADIUS. For each
authenticated user, the Dominion KX receives from the
authentication server the user group to which that user belongs.
Dominion KX then determines the user's access permissions
depending on what user group to which he belongs.
How are usernames and
passwords stored? Should you use the Dominion KX's internal authentication
capabilities, all sensitive information such as usernames and
passwords are stored in a hashed format. Literally no one,
including Raritan technical support or Product Engineering
departments, can retrieve those usernames and passwords.
