Enabling Kerberos Authentication 201
Logging Into the iDRAC6 Using single sign-on for
Active Directory Users
NOTE: To log into the iDRAC6, ensure that you have the latest runtime
components of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Libraries. For more information,
see the Microsoft website.
1 Log into your system using a valid Active Directory account.
2 Type the web address of the iDRAC6 in the address bar of your browser.
NOTE: Depending on your browser settings, you may be prompted to
download and install the single sign-on ActiveX plug-in when using this
feature for the first time.
You are logged into the iDRAC6 with appropriate Microsoft Active
Directory privileges if:
• You are a Microsoft Active Directory user.
• You are configured in the iDRAC6 for Active Directory login.
• The iDRAC6 is enabled for Kerberos Active Directory authentication.
Configuring Active Directory Users for Smart
Card Logon
Before using the Active Directory Smart Card logon feature, ensure that
you have already configured the iDRAC6 for Active Directory login and the
user account that has been issued the Smart Card has been enabled for
iDRAC6 Active Directory login.
Also ensure that you have enabled the Active Directory logon setting. See
"Using the iDRAC6 Directory Service" for more information on how to set up
Active Directory users. You must also enable the iDRAC6 to be a kerberized
service by uploading a valid keytab file obtained from the Active Directory
root domain, to the iDRAC6.
