HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

• Auto login is implemented using IPMI over Ethernet between the OA and iLO 3 to create and
delete user commands.
• Supports a maximum of four simultaneous OA user accounts. The OA keeps track of these
users locally. The information maintained for each user is the user name, password, and
privilege levels.
• User accounts for the auto login feature are created in the MP database when an auto login
session is established. These accounts are deleted when the auto login session is terminated.
• If a maximum number of user accounts has already been reached, and the OA creates another
account on iLO 3. The OA sends a request to iLO 3 to delete one of the previously created
accounts, before attempting to create a new one.
• If iLO 3 is rebooted or power-cycled, it verifies any previously created OA user accounts in
the iLO 3 user database when it boots up. If there are any previously-created OA user accounts,
it deletes those accounts.
• View and manage user accounts created in iLO 3 by the OA like any other local user account
on iLO 3. To view and manage user accounts, use the TUI WHO, UC commands; or use the
User Administration page in the web GUI.
• View and disconnect user connections established through the auto login feature just like other
connections to iLO 3. To view and disconnect user connections, use the TUI WHO, DI
commands, or use the User Administration pages in the web GUI.
• The OA supports three types of users: administrators, operators, and users. These user types
map to the following iLO 3 capabilities:
Administrators Can perform any function including iLO 3 MP configuration. This level
equates to an iLO 3 user with all privilege levels such as, Administer
User Accounts, Remote Console Access, Virtual Power and Reset,
Virtual Media, and Configure iLO MP settings. It enables access to all
aspects of the OA including configuration, firmware updates, user
management, and resetting default settings.
Operators Provided access to the serial console and vMedia. This level equates
to an iLO 3 user with Remote Console Access, Virtual Power and Reset,
Virtual Media, and Configure iLO settings. It allows access to all but
configuration changes and user management. This account is used for
individuals who might be required to periodically change configuration
settings.
Users Provided read-only login access to iLO 3. This account is used for
individuals who need to see the configuration of the OA but do not
need the ability to change settings. This level equates to an iLO 3 user
with no privileges set.
NOTE: For information on how to set user roles and privilege levels in the OA, see the HP
BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide on the HP website at HP BladeSystem c-Class
Onboard Administrator.
Initiating an auto login session
1. The OA finds the first available auto login user by finding the first user entry with a time-created
value of 0. (OAtmp1...OAtmp5).
2. If there are no available users, the oldest user is deleted.
NOTE: This might terminate a currently active session.
The OA sends a request to iLO 3 to delete that user.
