Integrated Windows Authentication
The DSView 3 management software allows DSView 3 software clients to authenticate against
Microsoft Windows NT domain and Microsoft Active Directory external authentication servers
using Integrated Windows Authentication. This feature allows Single Sign-On (SSO) and is
disabled by default. When running Windows Server 2003 or 2008 with Kerberos and NTLM
authentication protocols, SSO is supported but it must first be configured in the web browser and
AD server; see the documentation included with your browser and AD server or contact an
Avocent technical support representative for assistance.
