Session Sharing Options

Session sharing can be configured by Admin and other users with Appliance
Administrator or User Administrator rights. The first user with a KVM session
with a target device is called the primary user. If another (secondary) user
attempts to start a KVM session with the same target device, options for the
secondary user depend on the following two conditions:
•
The access rights of the two users
•
Whether an administrator has configured global connection sharing
Automatic Sharing, Exclusive Connections, and Stealth Connections all are
configurable options that require connection sharing to be enabled.

Automatic Sharing

Connection sharing allows multiple users to interact with a target device at
the same time. When you are a primary user, you may be notified by a dialog
box that another user would like to share your connection. You may select Yes
to accept sharing, No to reject sharing, or click the Passive Share box to allow
the new user to share without having any control over the connection.
When you attempt to open a Video session with a device that is already being
viewed by another user, you are notified that the device is already being
viewed. Depending on the configuration of sharing settings, you may be
offered the option to share or preempt the video session. You may also be
offered the option to open a stealth Video session.
Access to the device is governed by the nature of the current user's
connection to the device. There are two types of Video session users: a
Primary user and up to 11 simultaneous Secondary users. Only the Primary
user can accept or reject preemption requests for all users sharing a
connection. The Primary user also maintains control of video parameters and
the display resolution of the Video session.
