Lock to KVM
Session
Synchronizes the KVM and virtual media sessions so that when a
user disconnects a KVM connection, the virtual media
connection to that server is also disconnected. A local user
attempting to switch to a different server is also disconnected.

your username and that no other user can create a KVM
connection to that server.
Read-Only Access Prevents a target server from writing data to the virtual media
drive during the virtual media session.

DES, 3DES, or AES) will be supported in the virtual media
session.
