Users Guide

• A CMC user who does NOT have the server administrative privilege, but has the same account on iDRAC is automatically logged in to
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, is not automatically logged in
to 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 you click Launch iDRAC GUI, an error page may be displayed, if:
• the server is removed from the chassis
• the iDRAC IP address is changed
• the iDRAC network connection experiences a problem
In MCM, while launching the iDRAC web interface from a member chassis, the user credentials of the leader and member chassis must be
the same. Else, the current member chassis session is aborted and the member chassis login page is displayed.
