Users Guide

Using Server Administrator 47
For local machine access, you must have an account on the machine with the
appropriate privileges (User, Power User, or Administrator). Other users are
authenticated against the Microsoft Active Directory. To launch Server
Administrator using Single Sign-On authentication against Microsoft Active
Directory, the following parameters must also be passed in:
authType=ntlm&application=[plugin name]
Where plugin name = omsa, ita, etc.
For example:
https ://localhost:1311/?authType=ntlm&application=
omsa
To launch Server Administrator using Single Sign-On authentication against
the local machine user accounts, the following parameters must also be
passed in:
authType=ntlm&application=[plugin
name]&locallogin=true
Where plugin name = omsa, ita, etc.
For example:
https ://localhost:1311/?authType=ntlm&application=
omsa&locallogin=true
Server Administrator has also been extended to allow other products (such as
Dell OpenManage IT Assistant) to directly access Server Administrator Web
pages without going through the login page (if you are currently logged in and
have the appropriate privileges).

Administrator from a remote management system that is running a supported
Microsoft Windows operating system.
The security settings for your browser might prevent the execution of client-side
scripts that are used by Server Administrator. To enable the use of client-side
scripting, perform the following steps on the remote management system.
