Authentication Settings - Raritan Dominion KX II-101-V2 User Manual

Authentication Settings

Authentication is the process of verifying that a user is who he says he
is. Once a user is authenticated, the user's group is used to determine
his system and port permissions. The user's assigned privileges
determine what type of access is allowed. This is called authorization.
When the KX II-101-V2 is configured for remote authentication, the
external authentication server is used primarily for the purposes of
authentication, not authorization.
Note: When remote authentication (LDAP/LDAPS or RADIUS) is
selected, if the user is not found, the local authentication database will
also be checked.
To configure authentication:
1. Choose User Management > Authentication Settings. The
Authentication Settings page opens.
2. Choose the option for the authentication protocol you want to use
(Local Authentication, LDAP/LDAPS, or RADIUS). Choosing the
LDAP option enables the remaining LDAP fields; selecting the
RADIUS option enables the remaining RADIUS fields.
3. If you choose Local Authentication, proceed to step 6.
4. If you choose LDAP/LDAPS, read the section entitled Implementing
LDAP Remote Authentication for information about completing the
fields in the LDAP section of the Authentication Settings page.
5. If you choose RADIUS, read the section entitled Implementing
RADIUS Remote Authentication for information about completing the
fields in the RADIUS section of the Authentication Settings page.
6. Click OK to save.
To return to factory defaults:

Click Reset to Defaults.
