Plug-In Configuration

The following sections provide step-by-step instructions for the plug-in initial

configuration. Upgrade, uninstallation, and security role information is also

covered in this chapter.

Security Roles and Permissions

The Dell Management Plug-In encrypts and stores sensitive user credential

information. It does not provide any passwords to client applications to avoid

any improper requests that could lead to issues. The database back-ups are

fully encrypted using custom security phrases, and therefore the data cannot

be misused.

Data Integrity

Communication between the Plug-in, virtual appliance, administration

console, and vCenter is accomplished using SSL/HTTPS. The Plug-in can

generate an SSL certificate used for trusted communication between vCenter

and the appliance. It also verifies and trusts the vCenter server's certificate

before communication and Plug-In registration. The Dell Administration

Portal uses security procedures to avoid improper requests while the keys are

transferred back and forth from the administration console and back-end

services. This type of security causes cross-site request forgeries to not be

successful.

A secure administration console session has a five minute idle minute, and

the session is only valid in the current browser window and/or tab. If the user

tries to open the session in a new window or tab, a security error is created

that asks for a valid session. This action also prevents the user from clicking

any malicious URL that could try to attack the administration console

session.
