Security features in OpenManage Enterprise

Some of the security features of OpenManage Enterprise are:
  • Role-based access control allows different device management functionality for different user roles (Administrator, Device Manager, Viewer).
  • Scope-based access control allows an administrator to determine the device groups that the device managers are expected to manage.
  • 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).
  • Only browsers with 256-bit encryption are supported. for more information refer, Minimum system requirements for deploying OpenManage Enterprise
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
  • Any change to the user role takes effect immediately and the impacted user(s) will be logged out of their active session.
  • AD and LDAP directory users can be imported and assigned one of the OpenManage Enterprise roles (Admin, DeviceManager, or Viewer).
  • Executing device management actions requires an account with appropriate privileges on the device.
