Raritan Computer Home Theater Server KX2101-v2.20-0B-E User Manual

Chapter 5: User Management 
 

 

1.  Using the KX II-101, create special groups and assign proper 

permissions and privileges to these groups. For example, create 
groups such as KVM_Admin and KVM_Operator. 

2.  On your Active Directory server, create new groups with the same 

group names as in the previous step. 

3.  On your AD server, assign the KX II-101 users to the groups created 

in step 2. 

4.  From the KX II-101, enable and configure your AD server properly. 

See 

 (on 

page 127). 

• 

Group Name is case sensitive. 

• 

The KX II-101 provides the following default groups that cannot been 
changed or deleted: Admin and <Unknown>. Verify that your Active 
Directory server does not use the same group names. 

• 

If the group information returned from the Active Directory server 
does not match a KX II-101 group configuration, the KX II-101 
automatically assigns the group of <Unknown> to users who 
authenticate successfully. 

 

Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an AAA 
(authentication, authorization, and accounting) protocol for network 
access applications. 

 

1.  Click User Management > Authentication Settings to open the 

Authentication Settings page. 

2.  Click elect the RADIUS radio button to enable the RADIUS section of 

the page. 

3. Click 

the 

 icon to expand the RADIUS section of the page. 

4.  In the Primary Radius Server and Secondary Radius Server fields, 

type the IP address of your primary and optional secondary remote 
authentication servers, respectively (up to 37 characters). 

5.  In the Shared Secret fields, type the server secret used for 

authentication (up to 37 characters).  

The shared secret is a character string that must be known by both 
the KX II-101 and the RADIUS server to allow them to communicate 
securely. It is essentially a password.
