To log in to CMC using Single Sign-on:
1 Log in to the client system using your network account.
2 Access the CMC Web interface using: https://<cmcname.domain-name>
For example, cmc-6G2WXF1.cmcad.lab, where cmc-6G2WXF1 is the cmc-name and cmcad.lab is the domain-name.
NOTE: If you have changed the default HTTPS port number (port 80), access the CMC Web interface using
<cmcname.domain-name>:<port number>, where the cmcname is the CMC host name for CMC, domain-name is the
domain name, and port number is the HTTPS port number.
CMC logs you in, using the Kerberos credentials that were cached by your browser when you logged in using your valid Active
Directory account. If the login fails, the browser is redirected to the normal CMC login page.
NOTE: If you did not log in to the Active Directory domain and are using a browser other then Internet Explorer, the login
fails and the browser only displays a blank page.

interface installed on a management station.
The RACADM interface is classied as follows:

you run the RACADM implementation that is part of the CMC rmware.
NOTE

management station.
