Disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration

To ensure that you can download log files and other local elements using the web interface, it is recommended to disable Internet Explorer

Enhanced Security Configuration from Windows features. For information about disabling this feature on your version of Windows, see

Microsoft's documentation.

Configuring Mozilla Firefox

This section provides details about configuring Firefox to ensure you can access and use all features of the iDRAC web interface. These

settings include:

• Disabling whitelist feature

• Configuring Firefox to enable Active Directory SSO

Disabling whitelist feature in Firefox

Firefox has a "whitelist" security feature that requires user permission to install plug-ins for each distinct site that hosts a plug-in. If

enabled, the whitelist feature requires you to install a Virtual Console viewer for each iDRAC you visit, even though the viewer versions are

identical.

To disable the whitelist feature and avoid unnecessary plug-in installations, perform the following steps:

1. Open a Firefox Web browser window.

2. In the address field, enter about:config and press <Enter>.

3. In the Preference Name column, locate and double-click xpinstall.whitelist.required.

The values for Preference Name, Status, Type, and Value change to bold text. The Status value changes to user set and the

Value changes to false.

4. In the Preferences Name column, locate xpinstall.enabled.

Make sure that Value is true. If not, double-click xpinstall.enabled to set Value to true.

Configuring Firefox to enable Active Directory SSO

To configure the browser settings for Firefox:

1. In Firefox address bar, enter about:config.

2. In Filter, enter network.negotiate.

3. Add the domain name to network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris (using comma separated list.)

4. Add the domain name to network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris (using comma separated list.)

Configuring web browsers to use virtual console

To use Virtual Console on your management station:

1. Make sure that a supported version of the browser (Internet Explorer (Windows), or Mozilla Firefox (Windows or Linux), Google

Chrome, Safari) is installed.

For more information about the supported browser versions, see the Release Notes available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.

2. To use Internet Explorer, set IE to Run As Administrator.

3. Configure the Web browser to use ActiveX, Java, or HTML5 plug-in.

ActiveX viewer is supported only with Internet Explorer. HTML5 or a Java viewer is supported on any browser.

NOTE: You need Java 8 or later to use this feature and to launch iDRAC Virtual Console over an IPv6 network.

4. Import the root certificates on the managed system to avoid the pop-ups that prompt you to verify the certificates.

5. Install the compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 related package.

NOTE:

On Windows, the compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 related package may be included in the .NET

framework package or the operating system package.

6. If you are using MAC operating system, select the Enable access for assistive devices option in the Universal Access window.
