Logging In To The CMC Using The Web-Based
Interface
1. Open a supported web browser window.
For current information on supported web browsers, see the CMC User’s Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
2. Log in to the CMC.
• If the CMC is accessed using a specific IP address, type the following URL in the Address field, and then press <Enter>.
https://<CMC IP address>
The default IP address for the CMC is 192.168.0.120. If the default HTTPS port number (port 443) has been changed, type:
https://<CMC IP address>:<port number>
where <CMC IP address> is the IP address for the CMC and <port number> is the HTTPS port number.
• If you access the CMC using a registered DNS name, type the CMC’s name:
https://<CMC name>
By default, the CMC name on the DNS server is cmc-<service tag>
The CMC Login page is displayed.
NOTE: The default CMC user name is root, and the password is calvin. The root account is the default
administrative account that ships with the CMC. For added security, you must change the default password of the
root account during initial setup.
NOTE: The CMC does not support extended ASCII characters, such as ß, å, é, ü, or other characters used primarily in
non-English languages.
NOTE: You cannot log in to the web-based interface with different user names in multiple browser windows on a
single workstation.
You can log in as either a CMC user or as Directory Service user in Microsoft Active Directory or Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol Services (LDAP).
3. In the Username field, type your user name:
• CMC user name: <user name>
• Active Directory user name: <domain>\<user name>
• LDAP user name: <user name>
NOTE:
This field is case sensitive.
4. In the Password field, type your CMC user password or Active Directory user password.
NOTE:
This field is case-sensitive.
Adding And Managing CMC Users
From the Users and User Configuration pages in the web-based interface, you can view information about CMC users, add a new user,
and change settings for an existing user.
NOTE:
For added security, it is highly recommended that you change the default password of the root (User 1) account.
The root account is the default administrative account that ships with the CMC.
To change the default password for the root account, click User ID 1 to open the User Configuration page. Help for that page is
available through the Help link at the top right corner of the page.
NOTE:
You must have User Configuration Administrator privileges to perform the following steps.
1. Log in to the web-based interface.
2. Select Chassis in the system tree.
