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 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).
The following are examples showing how the KVM Appliance Admin and KVM User Admin
attribute modes are defined in Active Directory for a user named John Smith, stored in the
ADUC. You can access the ADUC by selecting Start - Programs - Administrative Tools -
Active Directory Users and Computers.
