eDirectory installation prerequisites
Directory services for iLO 3 uses LDAP over SSL to communicate with the directory servers. Integrity
iLO 3 software is designed to install in eDirectory Version 8.6.1 (and later) tree. HP does not
recommend installing this product if you have eDirectory servers with a version earlier than eDirectory
8.6.1. Before installing snap-ins and schema extensions for eDirectory, read and have available
the following technical information documents (available at Novell Support at: http://
support.novell.com)
• TID10066591 Novell eDirectory 8.6 or greater NDS compatibility matrix
• TID10057565 Unknown objects in a mixed environment
• TID10059954 How to test whether LDAP is working properly
• TID10023209 How to configure LDAP for SSL (secure) connections
• TID10075010 How to test LDAP authentication
To install directory services for iLO 3, an administrator must extend the eDirectory schema.
Required schema software
The iLO 3 requires specific software to extend the schema and provide snap-ins to manage the
iLO 3 network. An HP Smart Component that contains the schema installer and the management
snap-in installer is available for download from the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/
integrityiLO.
The two components you need for Integrity iLO 3 directory integration are the Schema Extender
Utility and the Snap-in Installer.
Schema installer
One or more .xml files are bundled with the schema installer. These files contain the schema that
is added to the directory. Typically, one of these files contains core schema that is common to all
the supported directory services. Additional files contain only product-specific schema. The schema
installer requires the use of the .NET Framework.
The schema installer includes three important screens:
• Schema Preview
• Setup
• Results
