Enter a database password that you want the external resources to use when accessing the appliance database. The indicator underneath the Report User Database Password field changes color as you type the password string, to indicate the password strength. Red indicates the lowest, and green the highest complexity level. Choose a strong password to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your database records. If you do not specify a password for the Report User, the programs querying the appliance use the default password, which can allow attackers to expose sensitive data. A warning alert on the Home Dashboard appears, prompting you to change the database password. | |||
If you want to provide stronger security for users logging into the appliance, select Enable Two-Factor Authentication. This feature adds an extra step to the login process. It relies on an authenticator application to generate verification codes. The application generates a new six-digit code at regular intervals. When enabled, end users will be prompted for the current verification code each time they log in. For more details, see Enable Two-Factor Authentication. | |||

When you complete the configuration, logging in to the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance allows you to access the full set of pages available in the Administrator Console. The Remote Site Console, however, provided with the RSA, provides a limited set of pages that are only applicable to the RSA mode. For example, the Remote Site Console only displays the Home, Settings, and Support menu options on the left navigation pane, that provide access to the relevant pages.
For example, the Boot Environments page displays a list of KACE Boot Environments (KBEs) and NetBoot environments uploaded or imported to the appliance. This page allows you display only the boot environments that use specific operating systems, or to search by the KBE name.
