Security Features
Dell™ OpenManage™ systems management software components provide
the following security features:
• Authentication for users through hardware-stored user IDs and passwords,
or by using the optional Microsoft
®
Active Directory
®
.
• Support for Network Information Services (NIS), Winbind, Kerberos, and
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication protocols
for Linux operating systems.
• Role-based authority that allows specific privileges to be configured
for each user.
• User ID and password configuration through the Web-based interface or
the command line interface (CLI), in most cases.
• SSL encryption of 128-bit and 40-bit (for countries where 128-bit
is not acceptable).
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
• Session time-out configuration (in minutes) through the Web-based
interface or Command Line Interface (CLI).
• Port Configuration — Correctly configured ports are necessary to allow
Dell OpenManage systems management software to connect to a remote
device through firewalls.
NOTE: For information about ports that various Dell OpenManage systems
management components use, see the User Guide for that component.
