Feature Description/Benefit
Using the CCM appliance SHOW SERVER command or the
GUI-based AVWorks software, an administrator can easily view
users that are logged on to the CCM appliance as well as the
ports that they are attached to.
An Administrator with appropriate access rights can terminate an
active session to free up a port or if he wishes to terminate for
security reasons.
Session timeouts may be set on a global basis, yet it is possible
to override the global setting on a port specific basis. Session
timeouts prevent unattended sessions from being used by
unauthorized parties.
For ease of management, the CCM appliance supports three
levels of access control. From highest to lowest, these are as
follows:
● Appliance administrator: Users with this level of access are
able to alter network settings, user settings, and access all
ports.
● Administrator: Users with this level of access are able to
add/delete/modify user settings, and access all ports.
● User: Users with this level of access are able to access only
specific ports, as permitted by the administrator.
By default, users are able to send a serial break to any device
that they have the right to access. This right, however, may be
selectively restricted. Some servers enter BIOS in response to
a serial break, which stops the functionality of the server.
For this reason, the CCM appliance offers a means to
restrict this operation.
The ability of one user to terminate an active session of another
user is based upon access rights. A user may terminate the
session of another user only if he has equal, or greater,
access rights.
The CCM appliance history buffers accumulate data at all times,
whether or not a user is attached to the port. Unix console
messages will stored in this buffer in addition to serial session
data. All data received from the attached device is stored in the
buffer. This represents the data as it would appear on a physical
console, if one were present. Because passwords are echoed as
'***' they cannot be observed by looking into the history buffer.
Critical console messages, such as kernel panics, application
aborts, and access violations, will appear in the history buffer.
