# Servers

Kasm Workspaces provides session management and rendering of sessions for fixed systems or auto scaled systems that 
support either RDP or KasmVNC. [Workspaces](../workspaces.md) can be created and assigned to [Groups](../groups.md), 
providing users access to the servers from their dashboard.

## Create Server

To create a new server, navigate to Compute->Servers and click Add. Fill in the required information about the server. 
In order for the server to be accessible to users, you must then create a [Workspace](../workspaces.md) and add the 
Workspace to a [Group](../groups.md).

### Single Sign-On to Windows Systems via LDAP
When users login to Kasm via [LDAP Authentication](../ldap.md), they are able to create sessions to Windows systems that are joined to the same Active Directory domain and are configured for SSO credential pass-through. In the above table covering the configuration fields for Servers are the **Connection Username** and **Connection Password** fields. Place the value `{sso_username}` in the **Connection Username** field and place the value `{sso_cred}` in the field **Connection Password**. This requires that all users accessing this server are authenticated to Kasm using LDAP authentication. See our Windows Deployment Guide video for a walk through of this topic and more.
