Conguring Active Directory users
If your company uses the Microsoft Active Directory software, you can congure the software to provide access to iDRAC, allowing
you to add and control iDRAC user privileges to your existing users in your directory service. This is a licensed feature.
NOTE: Using Active Directory to recognize iDRAC users is supported on the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server
2003, and Windows Server 2008 operating systems.
You can congure user authentication through Active Directory to log in to the iDRAC. You can also provide role-based authority,
which enables an administrator to congure specic privileges for each user.
The iDRAC role and privilege names have changed from earlier generation of servers. The role names are:
