  • Patent number: 11669645
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230036002
    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.

  • Patent number: 11496454
    Abstract: An information handling system for providing comprehensive remote authorized access to multiple equipment in a datacenter. A mobile device security credential is first authenticated before access information is configured in the mobile device using a short-range wireless interface. The configured access information is mapped to the equipment and the corresponding access token and encryption keys from the equipment are received by the mobile device. The mobile device uses the access token and the encryption keys to simultaneously access the equipment through a long-range wireless interface. The simultaneous access includes parallel accessing of the equipment at a next accessing instance without requiring re-authentication. With the accessed equipment, the mobile device manages the accessed equipment based on the configured access information.

  • Patent number: 11341008
    Abstract: While the management module of an information handling system is set as a standby module, an enclosure controller provides first requests for attribute data of the information handling system, and receives and stores first response data for attribute data associated with a first subset of the first requests in a local memory of the enclosure controller. The enclosure controller receives request failure responses associated with a second subset of the first requests directed to a subset of the attributes data for the information handling system stored in a shared memory. While the management module is set as an active module, the management module is granted access to the shared memory. The enclosure controller provides retry requests for attributes associated with the request failure responses, and receives and stores second response data associated with the retry requests in the local memory.
