50 Advanced Configuration of the DRAC 5
Logging Out
1 In the upper-right corner of the DRAC 5 Web-based interface window,
click
Log Out to close the session.
2 Close the browser window.
NOTE: The Log Out button does not appear until you log in.
NOTE: Closing the browser without gracefully logging out causes the session to
remain open until it times out. It is strongly recommended that you click the logout
button to end the session; otherwise, the session remains active until the session
timeout is reached.
NOTE: Closing the DRAC 5 Web-based interface within Microsoft Internet Explorer
using the close button ("x") at the top right corner of the window may generate an
application error. To fix this issue, download the latest Cumulative Security Update for
Internet Explorer from the Microsoft Support website, at support.microsoft.com.
