Access to the iRMC / Management Board of the Application Unit

For Application Unit PY, access is via the iRMC, for Application Unit PQ via the Management Board.

Using the iRMC / Management Board of an Application Unit is mainly intended for the following scenarios:

• User management on Application Unit

  Security-relevant actions

  • The semuser account is used by the SE Manager as fixed access and may not be deleted by the administrator (see also section "Integration of Application Unit into the SE Manager").
    After configuration by the Customer Support, the semuser account is protected with an initial password, which you can obtain from Customer Support. Change this password immediately after startup.

  • It is possible to create further (personalized) accounts. When you do so, note the privilege strategy predefined on the iRMC / Management Board.
    You should disable accounts which are not used.

• Powering on/off the Application Unit
  For this purpose the predefined account admin is available to the administration on the iRMC / Management Board.

• Remote access to the Application Unit console using the “Video Redirection” function. The functionality corresponds to Access via the local console.

  Protection functions

  • You can log out from the iRMC’s / Management Board‘s web interface by means of Logout.
    When you leave your workstation, this can be used as an alternative or in addition to the locking mechanisms of the administration PC.

  • The iRMC’s / Management Board‘s web interface can also be protected against unauthorized access by a Session Timeout. The session times out if no activity is detected on the web interface for a particular period (timeout period).
    You must then log in again.

  • This behavior can be configured resp. viewed in the following iRMC menus:

    • iRMC S4 Web Server: under Network Settings -> Ports and Services -> Session timeout
      Auto refresh can also be configured in this window.
    • iRMC S5 Web Server: under Settings -> Services -> Web Access -> Session Timeout
      
    • If needed, the service can configure this for you.

    • The session timeout configuration applies to all accounts.
