52 Setup and Administration
Configuring a Supported Web Browser
For a list of supported Web browsers, see "Supported Operating Systems and
Web Browsers."
If you are connecting to a Web-based interface from a management station that
connects to a network through a proxy server, configure the Web browser to
connect properly. See your Web browser’s documentation for more information.
NOTE: Ensure that the Web browser is set to bypass the proxy server for local
addresses.
Viewing Localized Versions of the Web-Based Interface
Use Regional and Language Options in the Windows Control Panel to view
localized versions of the Web-based interface, on systems running Windows
operating systems.
Microsoft Active Directory
If you use Active Directory service software, you can configure it to control access
to your network. Dell has modified the Active Directory database to support
remote management authentication and authorization. Dell OpenManage
IT Assistant and Server Administrator, as well as Dell remote access controllers,
can interface with Active Directory. With this tool, you can add and control users
and privileges from one central database. If you use Active Directory to control
user access to your network, see "Using Microsoft Active Directory."
Configuring the SNMP Agent
Dell OpenManage software supports the SNMP systems management
standard on all supported operating systems. The SNMP support may or may
not be installed depending on your operating system and how the operating
system was installed. An installed supported systems management protocol
standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing Dell OpenManage
software. See "Installation Requirements" for more information.
You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable
Set operations, and send traps to a management station. To configure your
SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications such as
IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the following sections.
