Configuring IE to use ActiveX plug-in
You must configure the IE browser settings before you start and run ActiveX based Virtual Console and
Virtual Media applications. The ActiveX applications are delivered as signed CAB files from the iDRAC
server. If the plug-in type is set to Native-ActiveX type in Virtual console, when you try to start the Virtual
Console, the CAB file is downloaded to the client system and ActiveX based Virtual Console is started.
Internet Explorer requires some configurations to download, install, and run these ActiveX based
applications.
Internet explorer is available in both 32–bit and 64–bit versions on 64–bit browsers. You can use any
version, but if you install the plug-in in the 64–bit browser, and then try to run the viewer in a 32–bit
browser you have to install the plug-in again.
NOTE: You can use ActiveX plug-in only with Internet Explorer.
NOTE: To use ActiveX plug-in on systems with Internet Explorer 9, before configuring Internet
Explorer, ensure that you disable the Enhanced Security Mode in Internet Explorer or in the server
manager in Windows Server operating systems.
