Security Best Practices for Dell OpenManage Applications

Overview Security is often a trade-off between peace of mind and usability. The Dell OpenManage software suite helps enterprises avoid that compromise by offering security while enabling full functionality. Various components make up the Dell OpenManage suite, including Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA), Dell OpenManage IT Assistant (ITA), the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC), and the baseboard management controller (BMC). Dell OpenManage applications enable management, monitoring, and updating of Dell PowerEdge servers and attached storage. This paper explores best practices for configuring and managing systems running Dell OpenManage software while keeping the data center secure - in particular, using the ports, underlying authentication methods, and other mechanisms to help ensure security and functionality.
