Abstract: An information handling system may include a management controller; and a plurality of target information handling systems each including a target management controller that is communicatively coupled to the management controller. The information handling system may be configured to: receive, at a particular target management controller and from a client information handling system, a request for management associated with the particular target management controller; perform, at the management controller, validation of a token associated with the request; and based on the validation, cause the particular target management controller to service the request.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a processor; a memory; and a management controller. The information handling system may be configured to: receive, at the management controller and from a client information handling system, a request for management associated with the management controller; determine an audience claim of a token associated with the request, wherein the audience claim comprises a group identifier, and wherein the group identifier is associated with a plurality of management controllers; and in response to a determination that the management controller is one of the plurality of management controllers with which the group identifier is associated, cause the management controller to service the request.

Abstract: Methods and systems for access in a management controller group hierarchy may involve receiving a request for a user at an information handling system, determining whether a link of trust is established, and validating the single sign-on request. The request may be to authenticate the user for access using a single sign-on token. Determination of whether the link of trust is established may be based on an initial login location stored in the single sign-on token. Validation of the single sign-on token may be based on a determination that the link of trust is established.
