22 DRAC 5 Overview
Disabling the Whitelist Feature in Mozilla Firefox
Firefox includes a "whitelist" feature that provides additional security. When the whitelist feature is
enabled, the browser requires user permission to install plugins for each distinct site that hosts the
plugin. This process requires you to install a plugin for each distinct RAC IP/DNSname, even though the
plugin versions are identical.
To disable the whitelist feature and avoid repetitive, unneccessary plugin installations, perform the
following steps:
1
Open a Firefox Web browser window.
2 In the address field, type the following and press <Enter>:
about:config
3
In the Preference Name column, locate and double-click xpinstall.whitelist.required .
The values for
Preference Name , Status , Ty p e , and Va lu e change to bold text. The Status value
changes to
user set and the Va lu e value changes to false .
4 In the Preferences Name column, locate xpinstall.enabled .
Ensure that
Va lu e is true . If not, double-click xpinstall.enabled to set Va lu e to true .
