RAC4 Privilege Object

You can create as many or as few association objects as you want or need. However, you must create at least one Association Object, and you must have one RAC Device Object for each RAC (DRAC 4) on the network that you want to integrate with Active Directory for Authentication and Authorization with the RAC (DRAC 4). The Association Object allows for as many or as few users and/or groups as well as RAC Device Objects. However, the Association Object only has one Privilege Object per Association Object. The Association Object connects the "Users" who have "Privileges" on the RACs (DRAC 4s).

In addition, you can set up Active Directory objects in a single domain or in multiple domains. For example, you have two DRAC 4 cards (RAC1 and RAC2) and three existing Active Directory users (user1, user2, and user3). You want to give user1 and user2 an administrator privilege to both DRAC 4 cards and give user3 a login privilege to the RAC2 card. Figure 5-2 shows how you set up the Active Directory objects in this scenario.
