Authentication and Authorization
The RCS software allows permissions for multiple Remote Console Switches
to be managed through a single interface rather than individually on each
Remote Console Switch. For increased security and efficiency, the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) feature eliminates the need to
update access permissions in individual Remote Console Switches by drawing
permissions from a single network-wide authentication source.
The Remote Console Switch can authenticate using the standard Active
Directory schema, or the Dell Extended Schema in order to maximize
compatibility with all of your Dell hardware.
System Components
The software contains the following major components.
RCS Explorer Window
The RCS Explorer window is the primary point of control for accessing the
software features and functionality. From the Explorer window, you can view
the switches and target devices defined in the local database. Built-in
groupings such as Appliances and Devices provide different ways to list units.
