Using iDRAC6 With Microsoft Active Directory
The login syntax is the same for all three methods:
< username@domain >
or
< domain>\<username >
or
< domain>/<username >
where
username
is an ASCII string of 1–256 bytes.
White space and special characters (such as \, /, or @) cannot be used in the
user name or the domain name.
NOTE:
You cannot specify NetBIOS domain names, such as Americas , because
these names cannot be resolved.
If you log in from the Web interface and you have configured user domains, the
Web interface log in screen will list all the user domains in the pull-down menu
for your to choose. If you select a user domain from the pull-down menu, you
should only enter the user name. If you select
This iDRAC , you can still log in
as an Active Directory user if you use the login syntax described above in "Using
Active Directory to Log In to iDRAC6."
Using Active Directory Single Sign-On
You can enable iDRAC6 to use Kerberos—a network authentication
protocol—to enable single sign-on. For more information on setting up
iDRAC6 to use the Active Directory single sign-on feature, see "Enabling
Kerberos Authentication."
