Integrated Windows Authentication
The Rack Power Manager management software allows Rack Power Manager software clients
to authenticate against Microsoft Windows NT domain and Microsoft Active Directory external
authentication servers using Integrated Windows Authentication. This feature allows Single
Sign-On (SSO) and is disabled by default. When running Windows Server 2003 or 2008 with
Kerberos and NTLM authentication protocols, SSO is supported but it must first be configured
in the web browser and AD server; see the documentation included with your browser and AD
server or contact an Avocent technical support representative for assistance.
NOTE: When accessing the Rack Power Manager client using Integrated Windows Authentication, the browser
URL must include the Rack Power Manager intranet name.
