122 Using iDRAC6 Directory Service
You can use Active Directory to log in to iDRAC6 using one of the following
methods:
•Web interface
•Local RACADM
• SSH or Telnet console for SM-CLP CLI
The login syntax is the same for all three methods:
<username@domain>
or
<domain>\<username> or <domain>/<username>
where username is an ASCII string of 1–256 bytes.
White space and special characters (such as \, /, or @) cannot be used in the
user name or the domain name.
NOTE: You cannot specify NetBIOS domain names, such as Americas , because
these names cannot be resolved.
If you log in from the Web interface and you have configured user domains, the
Web interface log in screen will list all the user domains in the pull-down menu
for your to choose. If you select a user domain from the pull-down menu, you
should only enter the user name. If you select This iDRAC, you can still log in
as an Active Directory user if you use the login syntax described above in "Using
iDRAC6 With Microsoft Active Directory" on page 121.
