The following settings are available:
• Security Group Distinguished Name is the distinguished name of a group within the directory.
All members of this group are granted the privileges set for the group. The group specified in
the Security Group Distinguished Name must exist within the directory, and users who need
access to iLO 2 must be members of this group. Complete this field with a Distinguished Name
from the directory (for example, CN=Group1,OU=Managed Groups, DC=domain,
DC=extension).
• Administer Group Accounts enables users who belong to this group to alter privileges for any
group.
• Remote Console Access enables you to remotely access the host system Remote Console,
including the Remote Serial Console. You must have access to the remote system to use this
capability.
• Virtual Power and Reset enables you to power cycle or reset the host platform. These activities
interrupt the availability of the system. If selected, this option also allows you to diagnose the
system using the virtual NMI button.
• Virtual Media enables you to use virtual media on the host platform.
• Configure iLO 2 Settings enables you to configure most iLO 2 settings, including security
settings. If selected, you can remotely update iLO 2 firmware. This setting does not include
group account administration. These settings rarely change.
After iLO 2 is correctly configured, revoking this privilege from all groups prevents
reconfiguration. Users with the Administer Group Accounts privilege can enable or disable
this privilege. The iLO 2 firmware can also be reconfigured if iLO 2 RBSU is enabled.
To save updated information, click Save Group Information, or to discard changes and return to
the Group Administration page, click Cancel.
Configuring iLO 2 access
The iLO 2 firmware enables you to configure which services are enabled on iLO 2 and user access
to iLO 2. To configure iLO 2 services options, click Administration>Access. The Services page (tab)
appears. To configure iLO 2 access options), click Administration>Access>Options (tab). You must
have the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege to modify iLO 2 services and access options. For more
information, see “Access options” (page 38).
