48 Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface
Logging Out
1
In the upper-right corner of the main window, click
Logout
to close
the session.
2
Close the browser window.
NOTE: The Logout button does not appear until you log in.
NOTE: Closing the browser without gracefully logging out may cause the session
to remain open until it times out. It is strongly recommended that you click the
logout button to end the session; otherwise, the session may remain active until the
session timeout is reached.
NOTE: Closing the iDRAC6 Web interface within Microsoft Internet Explorer using
the close button ("x") at the top right corner of the window may generate an
application error. To fix this issue, download the latest Cumulative Security Update
for Internet Explorer from the Microsoft Support website, located at
support.microsoft.com.
CAUTION: If you have opened multiple Web GUI sessions either through <Ctrl+T>
or <Ctrl+N> to access the same iDRAC6 from the same management station, and
then log out of any one session, all the Web GUI sessions will be terminated.
Using Multiple Browser Tabs and Windows
Different versions of Web browsers exhibit different behaviors when opening
new tabs and windows. Internet Explorer (IE) version 7 and IE 8 have the
option to open tabs and windows. Each tab inherits the characteristics of the
most recently opened tab. Press <Ctrl–T> to open a new tab and
<Ctrl–N> to open a new browser window from the active session. You will
be logged in with your already authenticated credentials. Closing any one tab
expires all iDRAC6 Web interface tabs. Also, if a user logs in with Power User
privileges on one tab, and then logs in as Administrator on another tab, both
open tabs have Administrator privileges.
Tab behavior for Mozilla Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 is the same as IE 7 and IE 8;
new tabs are new sessions. Screens launched with Firefox browser will operate
with the same privileges as the latest window opened. For example, if one
Firefox window is open with a Power User logged in and another window is
opened with Administrator privileges, both users will have Administrator
privileges.
