disable this feature, a warning message is displayed.
You must have Configure iDRAC privilege to enable or disable HTTPs redirection.
An event is recorded in the Lifecycle Controller log file when this feature is enabled or disabled.
To disable the HTTP to HTTPs redirection:
racadm set iDRAC.Webserver.HttpsRedirection Disabled
To enable HTTP to HTTPs redirection:
racadm set iDRAC.Webserver.HttpsRedirection Enabled
To view the status of the HTTP to HTTPs redirection:
racadm get iDRAC.Webserver.HttpsRedirection
Configuring TLS
By default, iDRAC is configured to use TLS 1.1 and higher. You can configure iDRAC to use any of the following:
TLS 1.0 and higher
TLS 1.1 and higher
TLS 1.2 only

To set the version of TLS:
racadm set idrac.webserver.tlsprotocol <n>
Using VNC client to manage remote server
You can use a standard open VNC client to manage the remote server using both desktop and mobile devices such as Dell Wyse
PocketCloud. When servers in data centers stop functioning, the iDRAC or the operating system sends an alert to the console on the
management station. The console sends an email or SMS to a mobile device with required information and launches VNC viewer
