4. Restart Internet Explorer and launch Server Administrator using desktop icon.
Note: Single sign-on service is supported only on Internet Explorer running on Windows
operating system with NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication enabled.
If single sign-on is not enabled, when you launch Server Administrator using desktop icon ,
the operating system displays a dialog box requesting for username and password .Click
Cancel to return to the Server Administrator login page.
 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 engineering and are
determined to be "false positives" (invalid security warnings) that you can ignore. The
following are the warnings:
o "The Web server on 1311 allows scripts to read sensitive configuration and /
or XML files."
o "The Web server on 1311 allows to delete "/" which implies that the Webserver
will allow a remote user to delete the files in root on the server."
o "The web server on 1311 may be susceptible to a 'www Infinite Request'
attack."
o "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 "Systems Management Tools and
Documentation" DVD.
NOTE: A MIB-II-compliant, SNMP-supported network management station is required to
compile and browse MIB files.
 Server Administrator support for Encrypting File System (EFS)
 To improve security, Microsoft allows encrypting files using EFS. Note that SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR will not function if its dependent files are encrypted.
 Server Administrator GUI and CLI Response Time
On 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:
o Server Administrator home page on log in
o Remote Access -> Users
o Alert Management -> Platform Events
Following are the Server Administrator CLI commands for which the response time may
have increased:
o omreport chassis remoteaccess config=user
