Dell iDRAC6 User Manual page 155

the User is a member of that Group. Now if I try to log in to iDRAC6 using the User
present in the child domain, Active Directory Single Sign-On login fails.
This may be because of the wrong Group type. There are two kinds of Group
types in the Active Directory server:
• Security—Security groups allow you to manage user and computer access
to shared resources and to filter Group Policy settings
• Distribution—Distribution groups are intended to be used only as e–mail
distribution lists.
Always ensure that the Group Type is Security. You can not use distribution
groups to assign permission on any objects and use them to filter Group
Policy settings.
