Who can use the API?
Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services features are available based on the type of license (that is, Basic
Management, iDRAC Express, iDRAC Express for Blades, or iDRAC Enterprise) you purchase. Only
licensed features are available in the iDRAC web interface and Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services. For
more information about managing licenses, see iDRAC User’s Guide. For more information about
Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services licensing, see Licensing.
NOTE: Special characters can be used in user name and password. However, they must be percent-
encoded. For example, @ should be entered as %40.
How is one-to-many management achieved?
A management station sends WS-MAN commands over a network and the WS-MAN commands pass
securely through the network from outside the firewall and maintain security.
