Dell EMC OpenManage Installation Guide — Linux Version 9.4

Security Features

Systems management software components provide the following security features:

• Support for Network Information Services (NIS), Winbind, Kerberos, and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication protocols for Linux operating systems
• Role-based authority that enables specific privileges to be configured for each user

  NOTE: Applicable only for systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, or VMware ESXi

• User ID and password configuration through the web-based interface or the command-line interface (CLI), in most cases
• SSL encryption (Auto Negotiate and 128-bit or higher)

NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.

• Session time-out configuration (in minutes) through the web-based interface
• Port configuration to enable systems management software to connect to a remote device through firewalls

NOTE: For information about ports that the various systems management components use, see the User Guide for that component.
