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