250 Using the CMC Directory Service
The RAC Device object is the link to the RAC firmware for querying Active
Directory for authentication and authorization. When a RAC is added to the
network, the Administrator must configure the RAC and its device object
with its Active Directory name so users can perform authentication and
authorization with Active Directory. Additionally, the Administrator must add
the RAC to at least one Association Object in order for users to authenticate.
Figure 8-2 illustrates that the Association Object provides the connection
that is needed for all of the Authentication and Authorization.
NOTE: The RAC privilege object applies to DRAC 4, DRAC 5, and CMC.
You can create as many or as few Association Objects as required. However,
you must create at least one Association Object, and you must have one
RAC Device Object for each RAC (CMC) on the network that you want
to integrate with Active Directory.
