HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide

Configuring directory settings
iLO 2 enables administrators to centralize user account administration using directory services.
You must have the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege to configure and test the iLO 2 directory
services. To access Directory Settings, click Administration>Security>Directory.
iLO 2 directory settings enable you to control directory-related behavior for the iLO 2 directory
you are logged in to. These settings include:
• Disable Directory Authentication – Enables you to activate or deactivate directory support on
this iLO 2 directory.
— If directory authentication is enabled and configured properly, users can log in using
directory credentials.
— If directory authentication is disabled, user credentials are not validated using the directory.
• Use HP Extended Schema – Selects directory authentication and authorization using directory
objects created with HP schema. Select this option if the directory has been extended with HP
schema, and you plan to use it.
• Use Directory Default Schema – Selects directory authentication and authorization using user
accounts in the directory. Select this option if the directory is not extended with HP schema.
User accounts and group memberships are used to authenticate and authorize users. After
entering the directory network information, to grant users access to iLO 2, click Administer
Groups, and enter one or more valid directory distinguished names and privileges.
• Enable Local User Accounts – Enables you to limit access to local users.
If Local User Accounts are enabled, a user can login using locally stored user credentials.—
— If Local User Accounts are disabled, user access is limited to valid directory credentials
only.
Access using Local User Accounts is enabled if Directory Support is disabled and/or the iLO
2 Select or iLO 2 Advanced License is revoked. You cannot disable local user access if you
are logged in using a local user account.
