Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.0 User's Guide

Security features in OpenManage Enterprise

Some of the security features of OpenManage Enterprise are:
  • Role-based access that limits access to console settings and device actions.
  • Hardened appliance with Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) and an internal firewall.
  • Encryption of sensitive data in an internal database.
  • Use of encrypted communication outside the appliance (HTTPs).

WARNING: Unauthorized users can obtain OS-level access to the OpenManage Enterprise appliance bypassing Dell EMC's security restrictions. One possibility is to attach the VMDK in another Linux VM as a secondary drive, and thus getting OS partition access, whereby OS-level login credentials can possibly be altered. Dell EMC recommends that customers encrypt the drive (image file) to make unauthorized access difficult. Customers must also ensure that for any encryption mechanism used, they can decrypt files later. Else, the device would not be bootable.

NOTE: AD and LDAP directory users can be imported and assigned one of the OpenManage Enterprise roles (Admin, DeviceManager, or Viewer). The Single-Sign-On (SSO) feature can be used only till logging in to the console. Actions run on the devices require a privileged account on the device.
