Using the CMC Web Interface 233

A user may be able to launch iDRAC GUI without having to login a second

time, as this feature utilizes single sign-on. Single sign-on policies are

described below.

• 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

button 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.

NOTE: If the server is removed from the chassis, the iDRAC IP address is changed,

or the iDRAC network connection experiences a problem, then clicking the Launch

iDRAC GUI icon may display an error page.
