ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to a system and method for providing a user access to a Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) drawer based upon biometric authentication of the user, and more particularly, to a system and method for providing a user access to at least one host computer associated with a KVM drawer based, at least in part, on the user's unique biometric data. In one embodiment, an emulation controller, which emulates a KVM switch, is enabled or disabled based upon whether the associated user is properly authenticated. In another embodiment, an input-output buffer is enabled or disabled based upon whether the associated user is properly authenticated. Methods are also provided wherein the storage device containing at least a portion of the biometric data associated with authorized users is enabled upon receiving biometric data associated with a user of the KVM drawer.
