Description

Authentication

Settings

Users can choose to use LDAP authentication by clicking the

box shown.

The user may still log in with the Override admin account if the

LDAP servers are inaccessible.

Schema

Radio Button to indicate which Active Directory (AD) object
classes are used to store information related to authorization.
For the default Standard schema, Microsoft Active Directory
objects are used. When using the Extended schema, the extra
Dell object classes are added.

RCS Domain

The RCS Domain field contains the name of the Active
Directory Domain chosen to hold all objects that represent
RCSs and SIPs.

Root Domain

The uppermost domain within the Active Directory Forest.

Group
Container
(Standard
schema set
only)

This field, available when the standard schema is selected,

contains part of the Distinguished Name of an Organizational

Unit (OU) object in Active Directory. The OU is used to hold

group objects that relate users to access controlled Remote

Console Switches and their attached SIPs.

For example, suppose the Distinguished Name of the chosen

OU is: ou=KVM-AccessControls,dc=MyCom,dc=com. In this

case, the Group Container field should be set to “KVM-

AccessControls.” The name entered into the Group Container

field must be unique among all OU objects in the Group

Container domain. You may choose to use a previously

created OU for the Group Container, or create one specifically

for this purpose.

The default Group Container is KVM.
