The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller Authentication process verifies the Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller credentials you have provided when you install Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for Configuration
Manager against each of the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller IP addresses you have specified. The grid
displays the IP Address, name of the server, and the status of the authentication.
You can provide user credentials authenticated on active directory.
If the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller user you have specified is not present on the Integrated Dell
Remote Access Controller of any of the servers you want to import, then the status is displayed as Authentication
failed, and you cannot import that server.
Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for Configuration Manager must have the required license available in
Connections License Manager, else the servers are grouped under Unmanaged Dell Lifecycle Controller(OS
Deployed) if the operating systems are deployed on the target servers and grouped under Unmanaged Dell

assigned to some other server, then there the license that was assigned to the target server is inappropriately
used.
