Using the CMC Web Interface 161
1 Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Expand Servers in the system tree. All of the servers (1–16) appear in the
expanded
Servers list.
3 Click the server you want to view. The Server Status page displays.
4 Click the Launch iDRAC GUI icon.
A user may be able to launch iDRAC GUI without having to login a second
time, as this feature utilizes single sign-on. Single sign-on policies are
described below.
• A CMC user who has server administrative privilege, will automatically be
logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. Once on the iDRAC site, this user
is automatically granted Administrator privileges. This is true even if the
same user does not have an account on iDRAC, or if the account does not
have the Administrator’s privileges.
• A CMC user who does
NOT have the server administrative privilege, but
has the same account on iDRAC will automatically be logged into iDRAC
using single sign-on. Once on the iDRAC site, this user is granted the
privileges that were created for the iDRAC account.
• A CMC user who does not have the server administrative privilege, or the
same account on the iDRAC, will
NOT be automatically logged into
iDRAC using single sign-on. This user is directed to the iDRAC login page
when the
Launch iDRAC GUI button is clicked.
NOTE: The term "the same account" in this context means that the user has the
same login name with a matching password for CMC and for iDRAC. The user who
has the same login name without a matching password, will not be considered to
have the same account.
NOTE: Users may be prompted to log in to iDRAC (see the third Single Sign-on
policy bullet above).
NOTE: If the iDRAC network LAN is disabled (LAN Enabled = No), single sign-on is
not available.
NOTE: If the server is removed from the chassis, the iDRAC IP address is changed,
or the iDRAC network connection experiences a problem, then clicking the Launch
iDRAC GUI icon may display an error page.
