If you use the standard set of certicates provided on the included support CD, the password

issued those certicates.

Selection of a User Password Policy
1. On the Security Settings screen, select one of three options from the “User Password
Policy” drop-down menu.
• No Password
• Global Password
• User Password
If you select “No Password,” anyone can establish a connection without entering a valid
password.
If you select “Global Password,” the viewer will prompt you for a global password, which is
used by all who want to make a viewer connection to the switch.
If you select “User Password,” the viewer will prompt you for a user-specic password. With
this setting, each login user will be checked against his or her corresponding password before
being allowed a viewer connection.

should be used with caution: If you adopt No Password Policy and No SSL Encryption / No
SSL Authentication, anyone with a viewer and knowledge of the access IP and port number
of the switch can establish a remote connection.
At this point, your Digital KVM over IP Switch is ready for a PKI-authenticated plus SSL-encrypted
viewer connection! All you need to do is to distribute the following to your remote connection
client(s):
• Certicates (obtained from your Certication Authority and required only if you selected
Level 3 viewer security)
• Certicate password (obtained from your Certication Authority and required only if you
selected Level 3 viewer security; if using the default set of certicates, use “clientpwd”)
• Username and password (specied on the Web Management interface/screen and
required only if you chose the User Password option; if using defaults, use the username/
password combinations Superuser/superu, Admin/123456 or User/123456)
• Global Password (as specied on the Security Settings screen and required only if you
chose the Global Password option)
