HP IP Console Switch directory services integration setup tutorial 211
5.
Name the HP IP Console switches from the HP IP Console Viewer using the Manage Console Switch
window.
IMPORTANT: The HP IP Console Switch names must always be synchronized with the names used for
associated computer account objects in the directory LDAP Directory Service. It is also important to note that
active directory allows multiple computer accounts to have the exact same name, as long as each account is
in a different domain from the others. When using the Group query mode, it is important to have precisely
one account for each console switch and precisely one account for each attached server. If multiple accounts
in the Active Directory forest are allowed to have the same name, unexpected failures can occur when using
the Group query mode.
6. Select SNMP to change the console switch name. This name is displayed on the Authentication
subcategory.
