Enabling Direct Port Access via URL
Direct port access allows users to bypass having to use the device's
Login dialog and Port Access page. This feature also provides the ability
to enter a username and password directly and proceed to the target if
the username and password is not contained in the URL.
The following is important URL information regarding direct port access:
If you are using VKC and direct port access:
https://IPaddress/dpa.asp?username=username&password=passwo
rd&port=port number
If you are using AKC and direct port access:
https://IPaddress/dpa.asp?username=username&password=passwo
rd&port=port number&client=akc
Where:
Username and password are optional. If they are not provided, a
login dialog will be displayed and, after being authenticated, the user
will be directly connected to the target.
The port may be a port number or port name. If you are using a port
name, the name must be unique or an error is reported. If the port is
omitted altogether, an error is reported.
For blade chassis, the port is designated <port number>'-'<slot
number>. For example, 1-2 for blade chassis connected to port 1,
slot 2.
Client=akc is optional unless you are using the AKC client. If
client=akc is not included, VKC is used as the client.
To enable direct port access:
1. Choose Device Settings > Device Services. The Device Service
Settings page opens.
2. Select Enable Direct Port Access via URL if you would like users to
have direct access to a target via the Dominion device by passing in
the necessary parameters in the URL.
3. Click OK.
