Conguring IE to use ActiveX plug-in

You must congure the IE browser settings before you start and run ActiveX based Virtual Console and Virtual Media applications.

The ActiveX applications are delivered as signed CAB les from the iDRAC server. If the plug-in type is set to Native-ActiveX type in

Virtual console, when you try to start the Virtual Console, the CAB le is downloaded to the client system and ActiveX based Virtual

Console is started. Internet Explorer requires some congurations to download, install, and run these ActiveX based applications.

Internet explorer is available in both 32–bit and 64–bit versions on 64–bit browsers. You can use any version, but if you install the

plug-in in the 64–bit browser, and then try to run the viewer in a 32–bit browser you have to install the plug-in again.

NOTE: You can use ActiveX plug-in only with Internet Explorer.

NOTE: To use ActiveX plug-in on systems with Internet Explorer 9, before conguring Internet Explorer, ensure that you

disable the Enhanced Security Mode in Internet Explorer or in the server manager in Windows Server operating systems.

For ActiveX applications in Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 2008, congure the following

Internet Explorer settings to use the ActiveX plug-in:

1. Clear the browser’s cache.

2. Add iDRAC IP or host name to the Trusted Sites list.

3. Reset the custom settings to Medium-low or change the settings to allow installation of signed ActiveX plug-ins.

4. Enable the browser to download encrypted content and to enable third-party browser extensions. To do this, go to Tools →

Internet Options → Advanced, clear the Do not save encrypted pages to disk option, and select the Enable third-party

browser extensions option.

NOTE: Restart Internet Explorer for the Enable third-party browser extension setting to take eect.

5. Go to Tools → Internet Options → Security and select the zone you want to run the application.

6. Click Custom level. In the Security Settings window, do the following:

• Select Enable for Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls.

• Select Prompt for Download signed ActiveX controls.

• Select Enable or Prompt for Run ActiveX controls and plugins.

• Select Enable or Prompt for Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting.

7. Click OK to close the Security Settings window.

8. Click OK to close the Internet Options window.

NOTE: On systems with Internet Explorer 11, ensure that you add the iDRAC IP by clicking Tools → Compatibility

View settings.
