16 iRMC S2/S3
Functions of the iRMC S2/S3
● Global user management using a directory service
The global user IDs for the iRMC S2/S3 are stored centrally in the directory
service's directory. This makes it possible to manage the user identifications
on a central server. They can therefore be used by all the iRMC S2/S3s that
are connected to this server in the network.
The following directory services are currently supported for iRMC S2/S3
user management:
– Microsoft
®
Active Directory
– Novell
®
eDirectory
– OpenLDAP
– OpenDS
● CAS-based single sign-on (SSO) authentication
The iRMC S2/S3 supports Centralized Authentication Service (CAS)
configuration, which allows you to configure the iRMC S2/S3 web interface
for CAS-based single sign-on (SSO) authentication.
The first time a user logs in to an application (e.g. the iRMC S2/S3 web
interface) within the SSO domain of the CAS service, they are prompted for
their credentials by the CAS-specific login screen. Once they have been
successfully authenticated by the CAS service, the user is granted access
to the iRMC S2/S3 web interface as well as to any other service within the
SSO domain without being prompted for login credentials again.
● DNS / DHCP
The iRMC S2/S3 provides support for automatic network configuration. It
has a default name and DHCP support is set by default so that the
iRMC S2/S3 gets its IP address from the DHCP server. The iRMC S2/S3
name is registered by the Domain Name Service (DNS). Up to five DNS
servers are supported. If DNS/DHCP is not available, the iRMC S2/S3 also
supports static IP addresses.
● Power supply
The iRMC S2/S3 is powered by the standby supply of the system.
● Alert management
The alert management facility of the iRMC S2/S3 provides the following
options for forwarding alerts (alerting):
– Platform Event Traps (PET) are sent via SNMP.
– Direct alerting by email.
