Installation Manual
Configuring iDRAC6 for Single Sign-On or Smart Card Login 197
• For 64–bit Windows platforms, the iDRAC6 authentication Active–X
plug–in is not installed if a 64–bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
Redistributable Package is deployed. To install and run the Active–X
plug–in properly, deploy the 32–bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
SP1 Redistributable Package (x86). This package is required to launch the
Virtual Console session on a Internet Explorer browser.
• If you receive the following error message
"
Not able to load the
Smart Card Plug–in. Please check your IE settings
or you may have insufficient privileges to use the
Smart Card Plug–in
"
, then install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
SP1 Redistributable Package (x86). This file is available on the Microsoft
Website at
microsoft.com
. Two distributed versions of the C++
Redistributable Package have been tested and they allow the Dell Smart
Card plug–in to load. See Table 8-2 for details.
• Ensure that iDRAC6 time and the domain controller time at the domain
controller server are set within 5 minutes of each other for Kerberos
authentication to work. See the
RAC Time
on the
System
iDRAC
Settings
Properties
iDRAC Information
page, and the domain
controller time by right clicking on the time in the bottom right hand
corner of the screen. The timezone offset is displayed in the pop up
display. For US Central Standard Time (CST), this is –6 ). Use the
following RACADM timezone offset command to synchronize the
iDRAC6 time (through Remote or Telnet/SSH RACADM):
racadm
config -g cfgRacTuning –o cfgRacTuneTimeZoneOffset
<offset value in minutes>
. For example, if the system time is
GMT -6 (US CST) and time is 2PM, set the iDRAC6 time to GMT time
