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.
