Configuring Active Directory users
If your company uses the Microsoft Active Directory software, you can configure the software to provide access to iDRAC, allowing
you to add and control iDRAC user privileges to your existing users in your directory service. This is a licensed feature.
NOTE: Using Active Directory to recognize iDRAC users is supported on the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server
2003, and Windows Server 2008 operating systems.
You can configure user authentication through Active Directory to log in to the iDRAC. You can also provide role-based authority,
which enables an administrator to configure specific privileges for each user.
The iDRAC role and privilege names have changed from earlier generation of servers. The role names are:
