Note to CC-SG Users 
If you are using Dominion KX II in a CC-SG configuration, perform the 
installation steps as outlined above, and when finished, consult the 
CommandCenter Secure Gateway User Guide, Administrator Guide, or 
Deployment Guide to proceed (all found on Raritan's Website under 
Support: http://www.raritan.com/support/productdocumentation). 
Note: The remainder of this user guide applies primarily to deploying Dominion 
KX II unit(s) without the integration functionality of CC-SG. 
 
Remote Authentication 
Note to CC-SG Users 
When the Dominion KX II is controlled by CommandCenter Secure 
Gateway, CC-SG authenticates users and groups, except for local users 
(requiring local port access). When CC-SG is controlling the Dominion 
KX II, local port users will be authenticated against the local user 
database or the Remote Authentication server (LDAP or RADIUS) 
configured on the Dominion KX II; they will not be authenticated against 
the CC-SG user database. 
For additional information about CC-SG authentication, refer to the 
CommandCenter Secure Gateway User Guide, Administrator Guide, or 
Deployment Guide at: 
http://www.raritan.com/support/productdocumentation. 
 
Supported Protocols 
In order to simplify management of usernames and passwords, the 
Dominion KX II provides the capability to forward authentication 
requests to an external authentication server. Two external 
authentication protocols are supported: LDAP and RADIUS. 
 
Note on Microsoft Active Directory 
Microsoft Active Directory uses the LDAP protocol natively, and can 
function as an LDAP server and authentication source for Dominion KX 
II. If it has the IAS (Internet Authorization Server) component, a 
Microsoft Active Directory server can also serve as a RADIUS 
authentication source.
