Controlling access to your openGear environment
Access to DashBoard devices can be managed using Ross Platform Manager
Ross Platform Manager can be used to control user access to devices through DashBoard. Administrators define which devices users have access to and the level of permission that the user has over each device. By constructing these access levels using roles, managing access control for large openGear ecosystems becomes easy.
- Integrates with Ross Platform Manager’s role-based access control functionality
- Supports LDAP integration
Faster Communication with DashBoard Proxy Server
DashBoard proxy server speeds communication between OGP binary devices and remote users
A DashBoard proxy server enables users on remote DashBoard clients to connect to openGear frames through the proxy server instead of connecting to them directly. The proxy server can accelerate communications in the following situations:
- When DashBoard users are far away from the OGP binary devices they are trying to control
- For certain devices that only accept only a single connection
-
When only one IP address can be exposed between locations
