To configure the SSL tunnel application:
1. Configure SSL tunnel to accept connection on <localhost>:<localport number>. For example,
127.0.0.1:5930.
2. Configure SSL tunnel to connect to <iDRAC IP address>:<VNC server port Number>. For example,
192.168.0.120:5901.
3. Start the tunnel application.
To establish connection with the iDRAC VNC server over the SSL encrypted channel, connect the VNC viewer to
the localhost (link local IP address) and the local port number (127.0.0.1:<local port number>).

Setting Up VNC Viewer Without SSL Encryption

In general, all Remote Frame Buffer (RFB) compliant VNC Viewers connect to the VNC server using the iDRAC IP
address and port number that is configured for the VNC server. If the SSL encryption option is disabled when configuring
the VNC server settings in iDRAC, then to connect to the VNC Viewer do the following:
In the VNC Viewer dialog box, enter the iDRAC IP address and the VNC port number in the VNC Server field.
The format is <iDRAC IP address:VNC port number>
For example, if the iDRAC IP address is 192.168.0.120 and VNC port number is 5901, then enter
192.168.0.120:5901.

Configuring Front Panel Display

You can configure the front panel LCD and LED display for the managed system.
For rack and tower servers, two types of front panels are available:
• LCD front panel and System ID LED
• LED front panel and System ID LED
For blade servers, only the System ID LED is available on the server front panel since the blade chassis has the LCD.
