Configuring Active Directory Users - Dell iDRAC7 User Manual

NOTE: For a list of valid bit mask values for specific user privileges, see the
Reference Guide for iDRAC7 and CMC available at dell.com/support/manuals. The default privilege value is 0,
which indicates the user has no privileges enabled.

Configuring Active Directory Users

If your company uses the Microsoft Active Directory software, you can configure the software to provide access to
iDRAC7, allowing you to add and control iDRAC7 user privileges to your existing users in your directory service. This is a
licensed feature.
NOTE: Using Active Directory to recognize iDRAC7 users is supported on the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows
Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 operating systems.
You can configure user authentication through Active Directory to log in to the iDRAC7. You can also provide role-based
authority, which enables an administrator to configure specific privileges for each user.
The iDRAC7 role and privilege names have changed from earlier generation of servers. The role names are:
