Remote Connect Authentication Options

RAC Authentication Use this option when the user credentials (username and password) are stored in the RAC users' database on the RAC.

This setting is enabled by default and cannot be changed.

Local Operating System Authentication Use this option when the user credentials are stored by the operating system, locally or as provided by a domain controller.

NOTE: The Local Operating System Authentication option is not supported on RAC firmware version 3.20 or later.

If your company uses the Microsoft® Active Directory® service software, you can configure Active Directory authentication to control RAC user privileges. This option is available on RAC firmware version 3.20 or later. See the Using Microsoft Active Directory With Your Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC III, DRAC III/XT, ERA, and ERA/O) User's Guide for information on configuring Active Directory authentication.
