Function

Purpose

Lock to KVM
Session

Synchronizes the KVM and virtual media sessions so that when a

user disconnects a KVM connection, the virtual media

connection to that server is also disconnected. A local user

attempting to switch to a different server is also disconnected.

Allow Reserved
Sessions

Ensures that a virtual media connection can only be accessed with

your username and that no other user can create a KVM

connection to that server.

Read-Only Access Prevents a target server from writing data to the virtual media

drive during the virtual media session.

Encryption Levels Allows the user to chose which of the SSL encryptions (128-bit,

DES, 3DES, or AES) will be supported in the virtual media

session.
