NOTE: Some features documented in this online help may not be available on your system's remote access controller (RAC). |
As an added level of security, the RAC supports the following two main types of users:
RAC users (includes operating system users and domain users), who can log in to the RAC interface, establish console redirection, and perform configuration and management actions on both the RAC and the managed node.
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) users, who are allowed only to establish a dial-in connection to the optional RAC modem; after connecting, PPP users must still provide a RAC user name and password to access the remote access interface.
Some RAC devices support two subtypes of PPP users: dial-in users and demand dial-out users.
When dial-in users establish a connection by providing their PPP user name and password, the connection stays open, enabling them to log in to the remote access interface using a RAC user name and password. When demand dial-out users establish a connection, the RAC hangs up and dials back at a preconfigured number and IP address.
