. NOTE: If you are an Active Directory user for whom the Enable CRL check for
Smart Card Logon is selected, DRAC 5 attempts to download the CRL and checks
the CRL for the user's certificate. The login through Active Directory fails if the
certificate is listed as revoked in the CRL or if the CRL cannot be downloaded for
any reason. Smart Card logon is supported only in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
