NOTE: Kerberos SSO may not work if you launch Power Center services using an account other than Network Service.

Single domain environment

You can set up a single domain environment with the following components:

● Domain Controller — AD server that supports the domain (parent and child)

● Power Center Server — Server with Power Center installed

● Power Center Client — Client server that connects to the Power Center server

Figure 2. Single domain environment

To set up the Kerberos SSO single domain environment, install Power Center and configure your web browser for SSO.

Configuring web browsers for Single Sign-on

To enable Kerberos Single Sign-on (SSO), you must configure your web browser to support the feature. For more information,

see your web browser Help documentation. For a list of OpenManage Power Center-supported web browsers, see System

Requirements.

NOTE:

To correctly set up Kerberos SSO, the date and time on all involved computers must be consistent and DNS

configuration must be correct.

To support SSO in Internet Explorer, you must add the OpenManage Power Center server as a local Intranet site.

The following is an example of the configuration steps in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10:

1. Go to Internet Explorer 10 > Internet Options > Security > Local Intranet, and click Sites.

The Local Intranet window opens.

2. Click Advanced.

3. Add your Power Center site into Local Intranet—for example, server1.dcm.dell.com.

Multiple domain environment

Set up a multiple domain environment with the following components:

● Domain Controller — There can be several Windows Active Directory (AD) domain controllers; for example, a parent domain

and many child domains.

● Power Center Server — This is the server with Power Center installed. It is an AD domain controller.

● Power Center Client — The client server connects to the network of the Power Center server.
