Question
Answer
Does Dominion KX II allow
encryption of video data? Or does
it only encrypt keyboard and
mouse data?
Unlike competing solutions, which only encrypt
keyboard and mouse data, Dominion KX II
does not compromise security it allows
encryption of keyboard, mouse, video and
virtual media data.
How does Dominion KX II integrate
with external authentication
servers such as Active Directory,
RADIUS or LDAP?
Through a very simple configuration, Dominion
KX II can be set to forward all authentication
requests to an external server such as LDAP,
Active Directory or RADIUS. For each
authenticated user, Dominion KX II receives
from the authentication server the user group
to which that user belongs. Dominion KX II
then determines the user’s access permissions
depending on the user group to which he or
she belongs.
How are usernames and
passwords stored?
Should Dominion KX II’s internal authentication
capabilities be used, all sensitive information,
such as usernames and passwords, is stored
in an encrypted format. Literally no one,
including Raritan technical support or product
engineering departments, can retrieve those
usernames and passwords.
Does Dominion KX II support
strong passwords?
Yes. The Dominion KX II has
administrator-configurable, strong password
checking to ensure that user-created
passwords meet corporate and/or government
standards and are resistant to brute force
hacking.
Can I upload my own digital
certificate to the Dominion KX II?
Yes. Customers can upload self-signed or
certificate authority-provided digital certificates
to the Dominion KX II for enhanced
authentication and secure communication.
Does the KX II support a
configurable security banner?
Yes. For government, military and other
security-conscious customers requiring a
security message before user login, the KX II
can display a user-configurable banner
message and optionally require acceptance.
My security policy does not allow
the use of standard TCP port
numbers. Can I change them?
Yes. For customers wishing to avoid the
standard TCP/IP port numbers to increase
security, the Dominion KX II allows the
administrator to configure alternate port
numbers.
