Configuring DRAC Security
NOTE: You must have Admin privileges in Server Administrator to use the Remote Access Service.
NOTE: See the Dell Remote Access Controller Installation and Setup Guide for more information about
DRAC security features.
To configure your DRAC security from the Server Administrator home page, click System→ Main
System Chassis→ Remote Access Controller and then click the Security tab. Under the Security tab,
you can perform CSR certificate management and set DRAC user login authentication options.
NOTE: Some of the DRAC certificate management operations use the FTP protocol to communicate with the
DRAC firmware. If a firewall software is installed on the system, these operations may fail.
