WHITE PAPER

When selecting a console management appliance, make sure that the appliance supports a means of

external authentication, such as RADIUS. Originally developed for remote access dial-in user

authentication, RADIUS is now widely used for access to routers and other data center devices such

as console management appliances.

Authentication attempts that are fielded by the CCM appliance are passed to the external server via

the RADIUS protocol. The server, in turn, provides access right information back to the CCM

appliance if the username and password are valid. If the account is not valid, then the request will

be denied.

Tools To Tighten Security

Security is best managed as a series of layers, data encryption, although necessary, is not sufficient.

Console management solutions must provide security features across many dimensions. As an

example, the following chart details various aspects of security that are offered by the CCM

Console Manager.
