Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise Using the Web Interface 81
Logging Out
1 In the upper-right corner of the main window, click Logout to close the
session.
2 Close the browser window.
NOTE: The Logout button does not appear until you log in.
NOTE: Closing the browser without gracefully logging out may cause 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 may remain active until the
session timeout is reached.
NOTE: Closing the iDRAC6 Web interface within 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, located at support.microsoft.com.
Using Multiple Browser Tabs and Windows
Different versions of Web browsers exhibit different behaviors when opening
new tabs and windows. Each window is a new session, but each new tab is not.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 does not support tabs; therefore, each browser
window opened becomes a new iDRAC6 Web interface session. Internet
Explorer 7 has the option to open tabs as well as windows. Each tab inherits
the characteristics of the most recently opened tab. For example, if a user logs
in with Power User privileges on one tab, and then logs in as Administrator on
another tab, both open tabs then have Administrator privileges. Closing any
one tab expires all iDRAC6 Web interface tabs.
Tab behavior in Firefox 2 is the same as Internet Explorer 7; new tabs are new
sessions. Window behavior in Firefox is different. Firefox windows will
operate with the same privileges as the latest window opened. For example,
if one Firefox window is open with a Power User logged in and another
window is opened with Administrator privileges, both users will now have
Administrator privileges.
