Configuring iDRAC for Single Sign-On or smart
card login
This section provides information to configure iDRAC for Smart Card login (for local users and Active Directory users), and Single
Sign-On (SSO) login (for Active Directory users.) SSO and smart card login are licensed features.
iDRAC supports Kerberos based Active Directory authentication to support Smart Card and SSO logins. For information on
Kerberos, see the Microsoft website.

Prerequisites for Active Directory Single Sign-On or smart card login

The prerequisites to Active Directory based SSO or Smart Card logins are:
• Synchronize iDRAC time with the Active Directory domain controller time. If not, kerberos authentication on iDRAC fails. You
can use the Time zone and NTP feature to synchronize the time. To do this, see
• Register iDRAC as a computer in the Active Directory root domain.
• Generate a keytab file using the ktpass tool.
• To enable Single Sign-On for Extended schema, make sure that the Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos
only) option is selected on the Delegation tab for the keytab user. This tab is available only after creating the keytab file using
ktpass utility.
• Configure the browser to enable SSO login.
• Create the Active Directory objects and provide the required privileges.
• For SSO, configure the reverse lookup zone on the DNS servers for the subnet where iDRAC resides.
NOTE: If the host name does not match the reverse DNS lookup, Kerberos authentication fails.
• Configure the browser to support SSO login. For more information, see
NOTE: Google Chrome and Safari do not support Active Directory for SSO login.
