Servers
Kasm Workspaces provides session management and rendering of sessions for fixed systems or auto scaled systems that support either RDP or KasmVNC. Workspaces can be created and assigned to Groups, 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 and add the Workspace to a Group.

Single Sign-On to Windows Systems via LDAP
When users login to Kasm via LDAP Authentication, 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.
