HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide

5. Complete the fields. The following options are available:
• User Name appears in the user list and on the home page. It is not necessarily the same
as the Login name. The maximum length for a User Name is 39 characters. The User
Name must use printable characters.
• Login Name is the name that you must use when logging in to iLO 2. The maximum length
for a login name is 39 characters. The login name can only use printable characters.
• Password and Confirm Password fields set and confirm the password that is used when
logging in to iLO 2. The minimum length for a password is set in the Access Options page.
The maximum length for a password is 39 characters. Enter the password twice for
verification.
• Administer User Accounts is a user privilege that allows you to add, modify, and delete
local iLO 2 user accounts. Administer User Accounts also allows you to alter privileges
for all users, including granting all permissions to yourself. Without this privilege, you
can only view your own settings and change your own password.
• Remote Console Access is a user privilege that allows you to remotely access the host
system Remote Console and Remote Serial Console, including video, keyboard and mouse
control. You are still required to have access to the remote system to use this capability.
• Virtual Power and Reset is a user privilege that allows you to power-cycle or reset the
host platform. Any of these activities interrupts the availability of the system. You can also
diagnose the system using the virtual NMI button.
• Virtual Media is a user privilege that allows you to use virtual media on the host platform.
• Configure iLO 2 Settings is a privilege that allows you to configure most iLO 2 settings,
including security settings. Configure iLO 2 Settings enables you to remotely update iLO
2 firmware. It does not include user account administration. These settings rarely change.
After correctly configuring iLO 2, revoking this privilege from all users prevents
reconfiguration. A user with the Administer User Accounts privilege can enable or disable
this privilege. If iLO 2 RBSU is enabled, you can also reconfigure iLO 2.
• User Certificate Information maps a certificate to a user. User certificates are only required
for two-factor authentication. If a certificate is not mapped to the user account, then the
following message displays A certificate has NOT been mapped to this
user, along with the Add a Certificate button. Click this button to map a certificate to
the user. After a certificate is mapped to the user account, a 40-digit thumbprint of the
certificate appears, along with the Remove this Certificate button, which can be used to
remove the certificate. If Two-Factor Authentication is enabled, map a different certificate
to each user. A user who presents a certificate when connecting to iLO 2 is authenticated
as the user to whom the certificate is mapped. Two-Factor Authentication must be enabled
to authenticate using a certificate.
6. When the user profile is complete, return to the User Administration screen by clicking Save
User Information. To clear the user profile while entering a new user, click Restore User
Information.

you want to modify.
