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:
"The Web server on 1311 allows scripts to read the 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 "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 SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR will not function if its dependent files are encrypted.
Server Administrator GUI and CLI Response Time
On PowerEdge 10
th
generation of PowerEdge servers or later, 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
