• If you run a security scanner tool such as Nessus, against the Server Administrator Web server, security
warnings may be displayed against port 1311, the port running the Server Administrator Web server.
The warnings have been investigated by Dell engineering and are determined to be "false positives"
(invalid security warnings) that you can ignore. The following are the warnings:
- "The Web server on 1311 allows scripts to read sensitive configuration and / or XML files."
- "The Web server on 1311 allows to delete "/" which implies that the Web server will allow a
remote user to delete the files in root on the server."
- "The web server on 1311 may be susceptible to a 'www Infinite Request' attack."
- "It is possible to make the remote thttpd server execute arbitrary code by sending a request
like: GET If-Modified-Since:AAA[...]AAAA
Solution: If you are using thttpd, upgrade to version 2.0. Else, contact the vendor for a patch or
change the web server. CVE on this one is CAN-2000-0359".
• Enabling Integrated Windows Authentication in Internet Explorer is not required to activate the Single
Sign-On feature.
• The Server Administrator security settings are not applicable for Active Directory users. Active
Directory users with read-only login can access Server Administrator, even if the access is blocked in
the Server Administrator Preferences page.
• Dell SNMP MIB Files for Dell Systems
Dell SNMP MIB Files for Dell Systems allow you to obtain and verify information provided by supported
software agents. The current MIB files supported by PowerEdge software agents are located at
"\support\mib" on the "Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation" DVD.
NOTE: A MIB-II-compliant, SNMP-supported network management station is required to compile
and browse MIB files.
• OpenManage support for Encrypting File System (EFS).
To improve security, Microsoft allows encrypting files using EFS. Note that OMSA will not function if its
dependent files are encrypted.
• Server Administrator GUI and CLI Response Time.
On Dell PowerEdge x9xx (9G) and later systems, the response time for some components of the Server
Administrator GUI and CLI has increased to several seconds as Server Administrator does not cache
some of the DRAC/iDRAC data. The data is retrieved from the DRAC/iDRAC when you request for it.
Following are the Server Administrator GUI pages for which the response time may have increased:
• Server Administrator home page on log in
• Remote Access -> Users
• Alert Management -> Platform Events
Following are the Server Administrator CLI commands for which the response time may have increased:
