In order to use the KX III Local Console, you must first authenticate with a valid username and password.
The KX III provides a fully-integrated authentication and security scheme, whether your access is via the network or the local port.
In either case, the KX III allows access only to those servers to which a user has access permissions. See User Management for additional information on specifying server access and security settings.
If your KX III has been configured for external authentication services (LDAP/LDAPS, RADIUS, or Active Directory), authentication attempts at the Local Console also are authenticated against the external authentication service.
Note: You can also specify no authentication for Local Console access; this option is recommended only for secure environments.
