Interfaces for In-Band Connections

In-band connections include RDP, VNC, SSH, RSA KVM, iLO Processor

Address/Hostname field.

2. Type a TCP Port for this connection in the TCP Port field. Optional.

3. For RDP interfaces, select Java or Windows, then select Console or

Remote User. When a Console user accesses a node, all other
users are disconnected. Multiple Remote Users can access a node
simultaneously.

4. Enter authentication information:

ƒ To use a service account for authentication, select the Use

Service Account Credentials checkbox. Select the service
account to use in the Service Account Name menu.

or

ƒ Enter a Username and Password for authentication. For VNC

interfaces, only a password is required.
