Port Authentication Utility

The Raritan Secure Switch offers a Port Authentication Utility to allow authorized administrator to
configure the Secure KVM to accept or reject specific USB devices. Through secured access and
authentication process, device filtering can be done through the Port Authentication Utility.
Administrators can create a list and add to Blocklist/Allowlist to the USB CAC Port filter which by default
supports a USB Smartcard or a CAC reader as authentication device.
The Allowlist/Blocklist assigned by the Secure KVM Administrator Functions has
higher priority over the lists by the Port Authentication Utility. Please refer to the
Raritan Secure KVM Administrator Guide for detail.
When a device is assigned to both Blocklist and Allowlist area in Port
Authentication Utility, the device will be treated as Blocklisted. (Device filtering
rule by Blocklist has always the highest priority).
Reset to Factory Default is the only method to completely clear the filtering lists on
the KVM switch.
