Support for Network Information Services (NIS), Winbind, Kerberos, and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication protocols for Linux operating systems.
Role-based authority that allows specific privileges to be configured for each user.
- NOTE: Applicable only for systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, or VMware ESX/ESXi.
User ID and password configuration through the web-based interface or the command line interface (CLI), in most cases.
SSL encryption ( Auto Negotiate and 128-bit or higher).

Session time-out configuration (in minutes) through the web-based interface.
Port configuration to allow systems management software to connect to a remote device through firewalls.
