Creating RAC Objects and Configuring RACs Using AD
Extended Schema
Dell has extended the AD schema to include an association, device, and privilege property. The
association property is used to link together the users or groups with a specific set of privileges to one or
more RAC devices.
For each physical RAC on the network that you need to integrate with the AD server for authentication
and authorization, it must have at least one association object and one RAC device object.
You must specify the AD server login credentials to:
• Connect to the AD server and create the RAC device objects in the AD server.
• Connect to the AD server and set an association object and a privilege object for each RAC.
You can have multiple association objects, and each association object can be linked to as many users,
groups of users, or RAC device objects as required. The users and RAC device objects can be members of
any domain in the enterprise. However, each association object can be linked (or, may link users, groups
of users, or RAC device objects) to only one privilege object.
For extended schema configuration, depending on the RAC type, the respective extended schema
objects must be assigned. For example, the old extended schema objects are assigned to DRAC5 and
CMC (PowerEdge M1000e) and the new extended schema objects are assigned to iDRAC6, iDRAC7,
iDRAC8, and CMC (PowerEdge VRTX). For more information on extended schema, see the appropriate
RAC user guide listed in Other Documents You May Need.
