Launching iDRAC using Single Sign-On
CMC provides limited management of individual chassis components, such as servers. For complete management of these
individual components, CMC provides a launch point for the server’s management controller (iDRAC) web-based interface.
A user may be able to launch iDRAC web interface without having to login a second time, as this feature utilizes single sign-on.
Single sign-on policies are:
● A CMC user who has server administrative privilege, is automatically logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. Once on the
iDRAC site, this user is automatically granted Administrator privileges. This is true even if the same user does not have an
account on iDRAC, or if the account does not have the Administrator’s privileges.
● A CMC user who does NOT have the server administrative privilege, but has the same account on iDRAC is automatically
logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. Once on the iDRAC site, this user is granted the privileges that were created for the
iDRAC account.
● A CMC user who does not have the server administrative privilege, or the same account on the iDRAC, does NOT
automatically logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. This user is directed to the iDRAC login page when the Launch
iDRAC GUI is clicked.
NOTE:
The term "the same account" in this context means that the user has the same login name with a matching
password for CMC and for iDRAC. The user who has the same login name without a matching password, is considered to
have the same account.
NOTE: Users may be prompted to log in to iDRAC (see the third Single Sign-on policy bullet above).
NOTE: If the iDRAC network LAN is disabled (LAN Enabled = No), single sign-on is not available.
If the server is removed from the chassis, the iDRAC IP address is changed, or the iDRAC network connection experiences a
problem, then clicking Launch iDRAC GUI may display an error page.
Launching iDRAC from Server Status Page
To launch the iDRAC management console for an individual server:
1. In the left pane, expand Server Overview. All four servers appear in the expanded Servers Overview list.
2. Click the server for which you want to launch the iDRAC Web interface.
3. On the Servers Status page, click Launch iDRAC.
The iDRAC Web interface is displayed. For information about the field descriptions, see the Online Help.
