Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication limitation
OpenManage Power Center supports Kerberos SSO for Windows domain user authentication. To enable this feature, OpenManage Power
Center is congured to support the Windows integrated authentication option which includes two authentication mechanisms: Kerberos
and NTLM .
NTLM is not supported in OpenManage Power Center. If the client’s web browser uses NTLM to authenticate domain users for
OpenManage Power Center, there are some limitations.
The web browser displays a message box requiring a Windows user name and password.
• If you click OK after entering a user name and password, whether the information is correct or not, the OpenManage Power Center
login page is displayed and requires you may have to authenticate through the login page.
• If you click Cancel, an HTTP Status 401 failure displays, and you cannot log into Power Center.
See Troubleshooting for more information on how to resolve this issue.
Logging out
To log out of OpenManage Power Center when not logged in through Kerberos SSO, click Logout at the upper right corner of the
management console.
When logged in through Kerberos SSO, close the web browser or the OpenManage Power Center management console to log out. Clicking
Logout does not work.
Managing user roles and privileges
OpenManage Power Center supports three pre-dened roles:
• Administrator: All privileges
• Power User: All privileges except Manage role/user and Manage license
• Guest: View device/group privileges only
These pre-dened roles cannot be edited or deleted.
