Users Guide

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.
