Shared remote console (.NET IRC only)

The shared remote console feature allows multiple users to connect to the same remote console session. This feature can be used for activities such as training and troubleshooting.

The first user to initiate a remote console session connects to the server normally and is designated as the session leader. Any subsequent user who requests remote console access initiates an access request for a satellite client connection. A dialog box for each access request opens on the session leader desktop. The request includes the requester user name and DNS name or IP address. The session leader is prompted to grant or deny access. If there is no response, permission is denied.

Passing the session leader designation to another user is not supported.

If a connection failure occurs, reconnecting is not supported. A remote console session must be restarted to allow user access after a connection failure.

During a shared remote console session, the session leader has access to all remote console features. Other users can access only the keyboard and mouse.

iLO encrypts shared remote console sessions by authenticating the client first, and then the session leader determines whether to allow new connections.
