Logging Out - Dell iDRAC6 User Manual

Logging Out

1 In the upper-right corner of the main window, click Log out to close the
session.
2 Close the browser window.
NOTE:
The Log out button does not appear until you log in.
NOTE:
Closing the browser without gracefully logging out may cause the session
to remain active until the session timeout is reached. Dell recommends that you
click the Log out button to end a session.
NOTE:
Closing iDRAC6 Web interface within Internet Explorer
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. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 does not support tabs;
therefore, each browser window opened becomes a new iDRAC6 Web
interface session. Internet Explorer (IE) 7 and IE 8 have the option to open
tabs as well as 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
then have Administrator privileges.
Tab behavior in Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 is the same as IE 7 and IE 8; new tabs
are new sessions. Window behavior in Firefox is different. Firefox windows
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 now
have Administrator privileges.
