Introduction
Today, managing distributed servers from a remote location is a critical requirement.
DRAC 5 enables users to remotely monitor, troubleshoot, and repair servers even when the server
is down. DRAC 5 offers a rich set of features like virtual media, virtual KVM, and so on, which have
the potential to make the system prone to security risks. DRAC 5 security features mitigate the
security risks that exist while data is being transmitted across the network. This white paper briefly
describes the security features that DRAC 5 uses to help ensure authentication, authorization,
privacy, and data integrity.
