5.2 Appliance and Target Device Query Modes
One of three different modes can each be used for Query Mode (Appliance) and Query Mode (Target
Device):
• Basic – A username and password query for the user is made to the directory service. If they
are verified, the user is given appliance administrator access to the appliance and any
attached target devices for Query Mode (Appliance), or to any selected target device for
Query Mode (Target Device).
• User Attribute – A username, password and Access Control Attribute query for the appliance
user is made to the directory service. The Access Control Attribute is read from the user object
(the user account) in Active Directory.
If the KVM Appliance Admin value is found, the user is given appliance administrator access to
the appliance and any attached target devices for Query Mode (Appliance), or to any selected
target device for Query Mode (Target Device).
If the KVM User Admin value is found, the user is given user administrator access to the
appliance and attached target devices for Query Mode (Appliance), or to any selected target
device for Query Mode (Target Device).
If the KVM User value is found, the user is given user access to the appliance for Query Mode
(Appliance), or to any selected target device for Query Mode (Target Device).
NOTE: If none of the three values are found, the user is given no access to the appliance and target
devices for Query Mode (Appliance) or to any selected target device for Query Mode (Target Device),
unless the user has User Admin or Appliance Admin privileges to the appliance.
You can access the ADUC by selecting Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - Active Directory Users
and Computers.
