Release Notes
* While uploading the kerberos key tab file to the DRAC 5 using racadm,
please validate the file before uploading. Currently, there is no
check performed for the validity of the key tab file.
* For Smart Card based authentication, currently, only Gem Alto
cryptographic smart cards and compatible cryptographic smart card
Service provider drivers are supported. Make sure that a
supported smart card is used for authentication.
* For Smart card and single sign on authentication, DRAC5 does not
support concurrent logins. If there is more than one user trying to
login to DRAC5 at the same time using either single sign on or smart
card Authentication, only one user will be authenticated. In this
situation, try the login again to authenticate and login into
DRAC 5.
* DRAC 5 currently does not support Windows 2008 Domain Controller as
supported Active Directory configuration for smart card Active
Directory authentication and single sign on Active Directory
authentication. Make sure that the domain controllers in the
Active Directory environment are either Windows 2003
or Windows 2000 Domain Controllers.
* User Configured Serial Console Redirection Key will only work with
telnet/ssh. It will not work with any serial connection based
terminal emulators like Hyperterminal, Putty or Minicom.
* For 64-bit Windows platforms, the DRAC5 Authentication plugin will
not get installed properly if a 64-bit version of "Microsoft Visual
C++ 2005 Redistributable Package" is deployed. Customers need to
deploy the 32 bit version of "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
Redistributable Package" for the plug-in to install and run
properly.
* On a Windows Server 2003, you randomly receive the Stop 0x44 error
with blue screen when peroforming DRAC5 DUP update. Apply
the Microft Hot-fix as mentioned in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942528 article.
* When Enhanced Security is enabled or installed in Windows(2003 or
XP) for IE hardening, IE may not be able to parse the XML which
may lead to DRAC GUI not working as desired. To fix this,
download security fixes and Microsoft fixes provided in the
Microsoft Website Microsoft XML Parser(MSXML) 3.0 SP5
* With Microsoft IE Enhanced Security Configuration, a pop-up message
appears when trying to connect to any website using IE6,
which resembles the following:
"Microsoft Internet Explorer's Enhanced Security Configuration is
currently enabled on your server. This enhanced level of security
reduces the risk of attack from Web-based content that is not
secure, but may also prevent web sites from displaying correctly
and restrict access to network resources."
This pop-up will have a checkbox "In the future do not show this
message".
