HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

Installing directory services
To successfully enable directory-enabled management on any iLO 3:
1. Plan.
Review the following sections:
• “Directory services” (page 113)
• “Directory services schema (LDAP)” (page 144)
• “Directory-enabled remote management” (page 139)
2. Install.
a. Download the HP Lights-Out Directory Package containing the schema installer, the
management snap-in installer, and the migrations utilities from the HP website (http://
www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).
b. Run the schema installer once to extend the schema. See “Schema installer” (page 115).
c. Run the management snap-in installer and install the appropriate snap-in for your directory
service on one or more management workstations. See “Management snap-in installer”
(page 117).
3. Update.
a. With the directory-enabled firmware, flash the ROM on iLO 3.
b. From the Directory Settings in the iLO 3 user interface, set directory server settings and
the distinguished name of the iLO 3 objects.
4. Manage.
a. Create a management device object and a role object using the snap-in. See “Directory
services objects” (page 123).
b. Assign rights to the role object, as necessary, and associate the role with the management
device object.
c. Add users to the role object.
For more information about managing directory service, see “Directory-enabled remote
management” (page 139). Examples are available in: “Directory services for Active Directory”
(page 117) and “Directory services for eDirectory” (page 127).
Schema documentation
To assist with the planning and approval process, HP documents the changes made to the schema
during the schema setup process. To review the changes made to your existing schema, see
“Directory services schema (LDAP)” (page 144).
Directory services support
Integrity iLO 3 supports the following directory services:
• Microsoft Active Directory
• Windows Server 2003 Active Directory
• Novell eDirectory 8.6.2
• Novell eDirectory 8.7
The iLO 3 software is designed to run within the Microsoft Active Directory Users and Computers,
and Novell ConsoleOne management tools. This enables you to manage user accounts on Microsoft
Active Directory or Novell eDirectory. There is no distinction made between eDirectory running on
NetWare, Linux, or Windows operating systems. To spawn an eDirectory schema extension, you
must have Java 1.4.2 or later for SSL authentication.
