Abstract: In a method for sending a server identifier to a KVM switch, a management processor of a server determines that a push button on an exterior surface of the server has been pushed. In response to determining that the push button has been pushed, the management processor generates a displayable image containing a server identifier for the server, includes the displayable image in a network message, and broadcasts the network message to a local network that includes the server and a KVM switch. In one example, the method also includes receiving the server button message at the KVM switch when the KVM switch is not switched to enable the server to control a video port of the KVM switch, and in response to receiving the server button message at the KVM switch, sending the displayable image to a monitor via the video port. Other implementations are described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide tactile challenge-response tests for limiting access to electronic resources associated with a computing system. When a user requests access an electronic resource, the system activates an alternating voltage in an electrode layer for a display associated with the system to generate an electrovibrational pattern on the display and prompting the user to perform a touch gesture upon the affected region of the display to allow the user to perceive the electrovibrational pattern via the user's sense of touch. Next, the computing system renders multiple different visual patterns on the display and prompts the user to select the visual pattern that matches the electrovibrational pattern. If the user correctly selects the visual pattern that matches the electrovibrational pattern, the system allows the user to access the electronic resource.
