Configuring Remote Connect Authentication Options
Use the Remote Connect Authentication Options window to set DRAC user
login authentication options. You can configure the DRAC to only allow login
by users created through the Remote Access Controller (RAC users), or to
allow DRAC login by users created both through the Remote Access
Controller and through the local operating system.
