Configuring the iDRAC Using the Web Interface 73
NOTE: Closing the iDRAC Web interface within Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
using
the close 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 iDRAC 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 iDRAC 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
iDRAC 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
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 open with Administrator privileges, both users will now have
Administrator privileges.
