Users Guide

• You have logged in to your system using a valid Active Directory user account.

• Single Sign-On option is enabled during Active Directory configuration.

To log in to iDRAC using web interface:

1. Log in to your management station using a valid Active Directory account.

2. In a web browser, type https://[FQDN address]

NOTE: If the default HTTPS port number (port 443) has been changed, type: https://[FQDN

address]:[port number] where, [FQDN address] is the iDRAC FQDN

(iDRACdnsname.domain. name) and

[port number] is the HTTPS port number.

NOTE: If you use IP address instead of FQDN, SSO fails.

iDRAC logs you in with appropriate Microsoft Active Directory privileges, using your credentials that

were cached in the operating system when you logged in using a valid Active Directory account.

Logging in to iDRAC SSO using CMC web interface

Using the SSO feature, you can launch iDRAC web interface from CMC web interface. A CMC user has

the CMC user privileges when launching iDRAC from CMC. If the user account is present in CMC and not

in iDRAC, the user can still launch iDRAC from CMC.

If iDRAC network LAN is disabled (LAN Enabled = No), SSO is not available.

If the server is removed from the chassis, iDRAC IP address is changed, or there is a problem in iDRAC

network connection, the option to Launch iDRAC is grayed-out in the CMC web interface.

For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller User’s Guide available at dell.com/

support/manuals.

Accessing iDRAC using remote RACADM

You can use remote RACADM to access iDRAC using RACADM utility.

For more information, see the iDRAC RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at

dell.com/idracmanuals.

If the management station has not stored the iDRAC’s SSL certificate in its default certificate storage, a

warning message is displayed when you run the RACADM command. However, the command is

executed successfully.

NOTE: The iDRAC certificate is the certificate iDRAC sends to the RACADM client to establish the

secure session. This certificate is either issued by a CA or self-signed. In either case, if the

management station does not recognize the CA or signing authority, a warning is displayed.
