Release Notes

updated using the Remote Enablement (RE) Services.
• Security fix — Administrators can leverage XSS in the web interface.
• Exporting the server profile using the WS-MAN interface fails.

interface.
• After uploading the user certificate for Smart Card Configuration using the iDRAC web interface, the
View User Certificate option does not display the certificate contents correctly.

Important Notes
• You must disable the Enhanced Security Mode in Internet Explorer for the Java-based virtual
console and virtual media plug-in to function properly. Else, specify the ActiveX plug-in in the
iDRAC6 configuration instead of Java. In addition, you must add the iDRAC6 Web URL to the
Intranet security zone only. Also, this zone settings must be Medium-Low or lesser, for the control
to function properly.
• To successfully launch Virtual Media, make sure that you have installed a 64-bit JRE version on a
64-bit operating system with 64-bit browser or a 32-bit JRE version on a 32-bit operating system
with 32-bit browser. iDRAC6 does not support 64-bit ActiveX versions. Also, make sure that for
Linux, the compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 related package is installed for launching Virtual Media.
On Windows, the package may be included in the .NET framework package.
• When the SSL encryption strength is set to "168-bit or higher" or "256-bit or higher" and a
downgrade is performed to firmware version 1.97 or lower, the encryption strength defaults to
Auto-negotiate. After this if you upgrade the firmware to version 1.98, the encryption strength is set
to the previously set "168-bit or higher" or "256-bit or higher" value.
