Security Features
Systems management software components provide these security features:
• Authentication for users from operating system with different privilege levels, or by using the optional Microsoft Active Directory.
• User ID and password configuration through the web-based interface or the command line interface (CLI), in most cases.
• SSL encryption (Auto Negotiate and 128-bit or higher).
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
• Session time-out configuration (in minutes) through the web-based interface.
• Port configuration to allow systems management software to connect to a remote device through firewalls.
NOTE: For information about ports that the various systems management components use, see the User Guide for that
component.
For information about the Security Management, see the Server Administrator User’s Guide at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
