32 iDRAC6 Overview
The iDRAC6 provides the following security features:
• User authentication through Active Directory (optional) or
hardware-stored user IDs and passwords
• Role-based authority, which enables an administrator to configure specific
privileges for each user
• User ID and password configuration through the Web-based interface
or SM-CLP
• SM-CLP and Web interfaces, which support 128-bit and 40-bit encryption
(for countries where 128 bit is not acceptable), using the SSL 3.0 standard
• Session time-out configuration (in seconds) through the Web interface or
SM-CLP
• Configurable IP ports (where applicable)
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
• SSH, which uses an encrypted transport layer for higher security
• Login failure limits per IP address, with login blocking from the IP address
when the limit is exceeded
• Ability to limit the IP address range for clients connecting to the iDRAC6
