DRAC 5 Security Features
The DRAC 5 provides the following security features:
• User authentication through Microsoft Active Directory (optional) or hardware-stored user IDs and
passwords
• Role-based authority, which enables an administrator to configure specific privileges for each user
• User ID and password configuration through the Web-based interface or RACADM CLI
• RACADM CLI and Web-based interface operation, which supports 128-bit SSL encryption and 40-bit
SSL encryption (for countries where 128 bit is not acceptable)
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
• Session time-out configuration (in seconds) through the Web-based interface or RACADM CLI
• Configurable IP ports (where applicable)
• Secure Shell (SSH), which uses an encrypted transport layer for higher security.
• Login failure limits per IP address, with login blocking from the IP address when the limit is exceeded.
• Limited IP address range for clients connecting to the DRAC 5
