HP Integrated Lights-Out Addendum

iLO will try will be
"CN=JOHN.SMITH,CN=USERS,DC=HP,DC=COM."
Maximum login flexibility
Configuring iLO with maximum login flexibility enables you to log in
using your full distinguished name and password, your name as it
appears in the directory, NetBIOS format (domain/login_name), or
the e-mail format (login_name@domain).
In some cases, the maximum login flexibility option might not work.
For instance, if the client and the iLO are in different DNS domains,
one of the servers might not be able to resolve the directory server
name to an IP address.
To configure your environment for maximum login in flexibility, do
the following:
1. Configure iLO as described.
2. Configure iLO with a DNS name, not an IP address for the
directory server's network address. The DNS name must be
resolvable to an IP address from both iLO and the client system.
3. To enable the directory user to login with e-mail
(loginname@domain) and NetBIOS name (Domain/Login
name) and other formats, modify the following settings on the
Network Settings page:
o Primary/Secondary/Tertiary DNS: Use the same IP
address for the Primary/Secondary/Tertiary DNS server IP
address and the Active directory server.
o Domain Name: Use the same domain name used for
configuring the Active directory server.
4. Enable ActiveX controls in your browser. The iLO login script
will attempt to call a Windows® control to convert the login
name to a distinguished name.
Your system security settings or installed software might prevent the
login script from calling the Windows® ActiveX control. If this
happens, your browser displays a warning message in the status bar
or message box, or might stop responding. To help identify what
software or setting is causing the problem, create another profile and
log in to the system.
GNOME interface does not lock
Terminating an iLO Remote Console or losing iLO network
connectivity does not lock the GNOME interface when iLO and the
GNOME interface are configured for the Remote Console Lock
feature.
The GNOME keyboard handler requires time to process key
sequences that contain modifier keystrokes. This issue does not occur
when key sequences are entered manually through the IRC, but it
becomes a problem when the key sequence is sent by iLO. The key
sequence with keystroke modifier is sent by iLO faster than the
GNOME keyboard handler can process it.
A work around for this issue is to use the Linux KDE GUI instead of
GNOME. The KDE keystroke handler does not take an excessively
long time to process key sequences that contain modifier keys. Both
KDE and GNOME interfaces ship with all distributions of Linux.
Scripting guide updates
iLO 1.92 implemented the following changes:
• Added the Raw Serial Data Port parameter to the
GET_GLOBAL_SETTINGS command,
MOD_GLOBAL_SETTINGS command, Command Line Interface
and the Global Settings screen
• Added the Vsp Software Flow Control Parameter to the
GET_GLOBAL_SETTINGS command and
MOD_GLOBAL_SETTINGS command.
• Added support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to HPONCFG
• Removed support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 from
HPONCFG
The following sections replace or supplement the corresponding
sections in the HP Integrated Lights-Out Management Processor
Scripting and Command Line Resource Guide.
