PLANET IKVM-17080 - Manual (Page 57)

Important events like a login failure or a firmware update are logged to a selection of
logging destinations. Each of those events belongs to an event group, which can be
activated separately.
The common way to log events is to use the internal log list of the IP-KVM. To show the
log list, click on “Event Log” on the “Maintenance” page. In the Event Log Settings you
can choose how many log entries are shown on each page. Furthermore, you can clear
the log file here.

5.5.8 Authentication
On this screen you can specify where the IP-KVM will look in order to authenticate the
users. You can use "Local Authentication", this means you need to have created the
user account on the IP-KVM and the user/group information residing on the IP-KVM for
authentication.
The other options allow you to specify an LDAP or a RADIUS Server to use for the login
authentication. These methods are very useful when you want to map users into
specific groups which have certain privileges. It is usually far easier and simpler to refer
to already existing groups, rather than having to re-enter everything into the IP-KVM
.
Note: Whatever you configure, you can always login over the network as the superuser "super".
The superuser is always authenticated and authorized locally, so you always have a "back
door" to the IP-KVM.
