Feature requirements

Feature requirements

Some KACE features require direct access to the customer’s network, which is established for KACE as a Service using site-to-site VPN connections. VPN connections leverage the shared KACE as a Service network, and a single VPN connection is usually sufficient to enable the functionality for a single company. In some cases, however, additional VPN connections might be necessary, and dedicated network bandwidth might be required.

The following features require a VPN connection:

•
VMware host discovery
•
Importing and Exporting of resources
•
FTP Access to upload large backup files
•
Application packages and script dependencies must be uploaded using HTTP. Large package uploads could timeout on slower network connections. Packages larger than 2 GB must be distributed using an Alternate Download Location from an internal file server.
•
LDAP User and device labels
•
LDAP User authentication
•
LDAP user import
•
Active Directory Single Sign On (SSO) for the Administrator and User Console
•
Email forwarding, used for Service Desk tickets and other email communications (such as use with Exchange)

For more information, see the KACE as a Service Setup Guide. Go to https://support.quest.com/kace-systems-management-appliance/technical-documents to view documentation for the latest release.
