You can also configure DSView 3 software security settings. When the console server is managed
by the DSView 3 software, the DSView 3 server will supply the certificate to the console server.
Under normal conditions, the DSView 3 software will manage the certificate to clear and replace it
with a new certificate as needed. If communication with the DSView 3 software is lost, the
DSView server will be unable to clear the certificate and the console server cannot be used. Click
the Clear DSView Certificate button to configure the console server in Trust All mode.
To configure DSView 3 security settings:
1. Select Application Settings - Security - DSView. The DSView screen appears.
2. Click the Allow appliance to be managed by DSView checkbox to manage the console server
by DSView 3 management software.

Authentication
Authentication can be performed locally, with OTP, or on a remote Kerberos, LDAP, NIS, Radius
or TACACS+ authentication server. If the ACS 6000 console server is managed by a DSView 3
server, DSView authentication is also supported. The console server also supports remote group
authorizations for the LDAP, Radius and TACACS+ authentication methods.
Fallback mechanisms of the following types are available:
Local authentication can be tried first, followed by remote, if the local authentication fails (Local/
Remote_Method)
-or-
Remote authentication may be tried first, followed by local (Remote_Method/Local)
-or-
Local authentication may be tried only if a remote authentication server is down
(Remote_MethodDownLocal).
An administrator can configure authentication using the CLI utility and the Web Manager. The
default authentication method for the console server and the serial ports is Local. Any
authentication method that is configured for the console server or the ports is used for
authentication of any user who attempts to log in through Telnet, SSH or the Web Manager.
You can either accept the default or configure another authentication method.
