LDAP Feature for the Remote Console Switch 196
An AD user account must be configured to receive appliance administrator

the Authentication Panel. In particular, only an appliance administrator is

Active Directory Object Overview for Standard Schema
For each of the physical Remote Console Switches on the network that you
want to integrate with Active Directory for Authentication and
Authorization, you must create at least one Computer Object to represent it.
You will also need to create a computer object for each SIP attached to the
RCS that will be controlled using the “KVM User” privilege level. Computer
objects representing SIPs are not required for the Administrator level groups.
Users in the KVM User Group will only have access to SIPs that are also in the
KVM User Group. Users with Administrator privileges will have access to all
SIPs by default.
