Description
The locking option specifies whether a virtual media session is locked to the KVM session on the
target device. When locking is enabled (default) and the KVM session is closed, the virtual
media session will also be closed. When locking is disabled and the KVM session is closed, the
virtual media session will remain active.
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 target device. When the associated KVM
session is disconnected, the virtual media session may be disconnected according to the
Locked setting in the Virtual Media dialog box.
You may set the access mode for mapped drives to read-only or read-write. When the access
mode is read-only, the user will not be able to write data to the mapped drive on the client
server. When the access mode is read-write, the user will be able to read and write data from/to
the mapped drive. If the mapped drive is read-only by design (for example, certain CD/DVD
drives or ISO images), the configured read-write access mode will be ignored. Setting the read-
only mode can be helpful when a read-write drive such as a mass storage device or a USB
removable media is mapped, and you wish to prevent the user from writing data to it.
You may configure encryption levels for virtual media sessions. The choices are: None
(default), 128-bit SSL(ARCFOUR), DES, 3DES and AES.
