LDAP Feature for the Remote Console Switch

An AD user account must be configured to receive appliance administrator

permission before that account will be allowed to modify any of the fields in

the Authentication Panel. In particular, only an appliance administrator is

allowed to modify the Authentication Settings.

Active Directory Object Overview for Standard Schema

For each of the physical Remote Console Switches on the network that you

want to integrate with Active Directory for Authentication and

Authorization, you must create at least one Computer Object to represent it.

You will also need to create a computer object for each SIP attached to the

RCS that will be controlled using the “KVM User” privilege level. Computer

objects representing SIPs are not required for the Administrator level groups.

Users in the KVM User Group will only have access to SIPs that are also in the

KVM User Group. Users with Administrator privileges will have access to all

SIPs by default.
To set up the Group Objects for a Remote Console Switch:

1 If you have not already, create the Organizational Unit that will contain

the Group Objects related to your switch installation.
