Dell IDRAC6 manual Logging Out, Using Multiple Browser Tabs and Windows

Logging Out

1In the upper-right corner of the main window, click Logout to close the session.

2Close 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.
