Avocent SPC420 Manual Do Utilizador

An SSH Passthrough session is a serial session opened to a unit without the use of a web browser. 
From an SSH client, a user with access rights can establish a connection to any serial unit managed 
by the DSView 3 software that supports Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) and Avocent DS Authentication 2 
Protocol (ADSAP2) protocol.

The DSView 3 server provides user authentication and, if events are enabled, logs SSH 
Passthrough session events. You can also share SSH Passthrough sessions with multiple users 
across multiple DSView 3 servers. Serial sessions initiated from the DSView 3 client software may 
also be shared if the Avocent Session Viewer is preconfigured as the serial viewer.

Shared serial sessions provide server redundancy. If a DSView 3 server is no longer available, a 
user may establish an SSH Passthrough session to a different DSView 3 server.

A client license is required for each user operating SSH Passthrough sessions. However, a user can 
open any number of SSH Passthrough sessions without increasing the license counter, provided the 
username is identical, and resides on the same DSView 3 server and network source address for 
each SSH Passthrough session. Once the user closes all SSH Passthrough sessions, the client 
session license is freed. If the available number of client session licenses is exceeded three times, 
users will be prevented from establishing a new SSH Passthrough session. See Licenses on page 54 
for more information.
