Using the iDRAC6 Directory Service 145

Using the iDRAC6 Directory Service

A directory service maintains a common database for storing information

about users, computers, printers, etc. on a network. If your company uses

either the Microsoft

Active Directory

or the LDAP Directory Service

software, you can configure the software to provide access to iDRAC6,

allowing you to add and control iDRAC6 user privileges to your existing users

in your directory service.

Using iDRAC6 With Microsoft Active Directory

NOTE: Using Active Directory to recognize iDRAC6 users is supported on the

Microsoft Windows

2000, Windows Server

2003, and Windows Server 2008

operating systems.
