NOTE: CIM ports are dynamic. See the Microsoft knowledge base at

support.microsoft.com for information on CIM port usage.

NOTE: If you are using a firewall, you must open all ports listed in Table 2-1 to

ensure that IT Assistant and other Dell OpenManage applications function properly.

Security Management

Dell provides security and access administration through role-based access

control (RBAC), authentication, and encryption, or through Active Directory

(or through Winbind, Kerberos, LDAP, or NIS on Linux operating systems)

for both the Web-based and command line interfaces.

RBAC

RBAC manages security by determining the operations that can be executed

by users in specific roles. Each user is assigned one or more roles, and each

role is assigned one or more user privileges that are permitted to users in that

role. With RBAC, security administration can correspond closely to an

organization's structure. For information about setting up Dell OpenManage

users, see "Assigning User Privileges."
