46 Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise
Single Sign-On
Using the single sign-on feature, you can launch the iDRAC6 Web-based
interface from the CMC without having to log in a second time. Single
sign-on policies are described below.
• CMC user who has Server Administrator set under User Privileges will
automatically be logged in to the iDRAC6
Web-based interface using
single sign-on. After logging in, the user is automatically granted iDRAC6
Administrator privileges. This is true even if the same user does not have
an account on iDRAC6, or if the account does not have the
Administrator’s privileges.
• CMC user who does not have
Server Administrator set under
User Privileges , but has the same account on iDRAC6, will automatically
be logged in to iDRAC6 using single sign-on. Once logged in to the
iDRAC6 Web-based interface, this user is granted the privileges that were
created for the iDRAC6 account.
NOTE: In this context, "the same account" means that the user has the same
login name and password for CMC as for iDRAC6. A user who has the same
login name but a different password will not be recognized as a valid user.
• CMC user who does not have Server Administrator set under User
Privileges
, or the same account on iDRAC6, will not be automatically
logged in to iDRAC6 using single sign-on. This user is directed to the
iDRAC6 log in screen after clicking
Launch iDRAC GUI .
NOTE: In this case, users may be prompted to log in to iDRAC6.
NOTE: If the iDRAC6 network LAN is disabled (LAN Enabled = No),
single sign-on is not available.
NOTE: If the server is removed from the chassis, the iDRAC6 IP address is
changed, or the iDRAC6 network connection experiences a problem,
then clicking the Launch iDRAC GUI icon may display an error screen.
