When LDAP Authentication is disabled, User Access will be adjudicated by
either locally-defined user access lists or Avocent management software (see the
section on User Access).
When LDAP Authentication is enabled, locally-defined user access lists take
precedence over requests to LDAP Directory Servers. User access requests with
first check for RCS-defined users. If no match is found, then requests will be
sent to LDAP Directory Servers, as configured.

Entering Authentication Parameters - Operational Modes

Access type
LDAP Directory Servers may be setup to operate either in Open or Secure mode
(using SSL - Secure Socket Layer encryption). The mode selected must match
that of the host directory server. When selecting Secure/SSL mode, please also
see the section entitled LDAP SSL Certificates for guidance on meeting the
requirements for encrypted operations.
User caching
Whenever a successful user authentication is completed via LDAP, the RCS has
the ability to retain the results obtained from the LDAP Directory Server for a
selected period of time. If, during that time window, another access request is
generated that normally would result in a repeat request of the Directory Server,
such requests are handled locally on board the RCS. This results in a near
instantaneous response that will allow the user to continue working with
minimal delays.
The three settings for this configuration option are disable, enable, and timeout
period.
