Security Features
Systems management software components provide these security features:
• 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.
NOTE: Applicable only for systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server, or VMware ESX/ESXi.
• User ID and password configuration through the web-based interface or the command line interface
(CLI), in most cases.
• SSL encryption (Auto Negotiate and 128-bit or higher).
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
• Session time-out configuration (in minutes) through the web-based interface.
• Port configuration to allow systems management software to connect to a remote device through
firewalls.
NOTE: For information about ports that the various systems management components use, see the
User Guide for that component.
