Power Off Security
Through the BIOS, the front blade server USB ports and power button can be disabled so as to not
allow any control of the system from the front of the blade. The enclosure video can also be
restricted.
The BIOS System Setup program’s system security screen allows administrators to set the system
password, control TPM activation and reporting, clear the TPM’s memory, and disable the power
button and USB ports.
4.8
iDRAC6 Security Features
The iDRAC6 modular solution offers many security features including:
•
User authentication through Microsoft Active Directory, generic LDAP Directory Service, or
locally administered user IDs and passwords
•
Two-factor authentication provided by the Smart–Card logon feature; the two-factor
authentication is based on what the users have (the Smart– Card) and what they know (the
PIN)
•
Role-based authorization, which enables an administrator to configure specific privileges for
each user
•
User ID and password configuration
•
SM-CLP and Web interfaces that support 128-bit and 40-bit encryption (for countries where
128 bit is not acceptable), using the SSL 3.0 standard
•
Session time-out configuration (in seconds)
•
Configurable IP ports (where applicable)
•
Secure Shell (SSH), which uses an encrypted transport layer for higher security
•
Login failure limits per IP address, with login blocking from that IP address when the limit is
exceeded
For greater security, access to iDRAC6 configuration through iDRAC6 Configuration Utility or the local
RACADM CLI can be disabled by means of a RACADM command or from the GUI.
