Configuring Security Features
The iDRAC6 provides the following security features:
• Advanced Security options for the iDRAC6 administrator:
• The Virtual Console disable option allows the
local
system user
to disable Virtual Console using the iDRAC6 Virtual Console feature.
• The local configuration disable features allows the
remote
iDRAC6
administrator to selectively disable the ability to configure the
iDRAC6 from:
– BIOS POST option-ROM
– operating system using the local RACADM and Dell OpenManage
Server Administrator utilities
• RACADM CLI and Web-based interface operation, which
supports 128-bit SSL encryption and 40-bit SSL encryption
(for countries where 128-bit is not acceptable)
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
• Session time-out configuration (in seconds) through the Web-based
interface or RACADM CLI
• Configurable IP ports (where applicable)
• Secure Shell (SSH), which uses an encrypted transport layer for higher
security
• Login failure limits per IP address, with login blocking from the IP address
when the limit is exceeded
