* Remote power management - Provides remote power management
functions, such as shutdown and reset on any chassis component, from a
management console.
* Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption — Provides secure remote system
management through the Web interface.

remote system.
* Role-based authority — Provides assignable permissions for different
systems management tasks.

Web-based interface.

The CMC provides the following security features:
-------------------------------------------------
* User authentication through Microsoft Active Directory (optional) or
hardware-stored user IDs and passwords.
* Role-based authority, which enables an administrator to configure specific
privileges for each user.
* User ID and password configuration through the Web-based interface or
SMCLP CLI.
* SMCLP CLI and Web-based interface operation, which supports 128-bit
SSL encryption and 40-bit SSL encryption (for countries where 128-bit is
not acceptable).
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
* Configurable IP ports (where applicable).
* Login failure limits per IP address, with login blocking from the IP address
when the limit is exceeded.
* Limited IP address range for clients connecting to the CMC.
* Secure Shell (SSH), which uses an encrypted layer for higher security.
* WS-Management requires client to provide the SSL CA certificate for secure
connection. The certificate can be extracted from CMC via remote racadm
tool with sslcertdownload or openssl tool with s_client -showcerts.
