HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

NOTE: The LDAP connection times out after 30 minutes of inactivity in Active Directory. For Novell
directory, there is no inactivity timeout.
To configure using the web interface, see “Group Accounts” (page 101).
To configure LDAP extended schema:
1. From the MP Main Menu, enter command mode.
2. At the CM:hpiLO-> prompt, enter LDAP.
3. To select Directory Settings, enter D. The current LDAP directory settings appear.
4. To select all parameters enter A. The current LDAP directory authentication status appears.
The local iLO 3 user accounts database status also appears. If enabled, the local iLO 3 user
database is used if there is an authentication failure using the LDAP Directory.
5. Enter D for disabled, or E for enabled. You must enter E if LDAP directory authentication is
disabled. The current LDAP server IP address appears.
6. Enter the IP address of the LDAP server. The current LDAP server port address appears.
7. Enter a new port number. The screen displays the current object distinguished name. This
specifies the full distinguished name of the iLO 3 device object in the directory service. For
example, CN=RILOE2OBJECT, CN=Users, DC=HP, DC=com. Distinguished names are
limited to 255 characters maximum plus one for the NULL terminator character.
8. Enter a new name. The Current User Search Context 1 appears.
9. Enter a new search setting. The Current User Search Context 2 appears.
NOTE: The context settings 1, 2, and 3 point to areas in the directory service where users
are located, so that users do not have to enter the complete tree structure when logging in.
For example, CN=Users, DC=HP, DC=com. Directory user contexts are limited to 127
characters maximum plus one for the NULL terminator character for each directory user context.
10. Enter a new search setting. The screen displays the Current User Search Context 3.
11. When prompted, enter a new search setting.

Login process using directory services with extended LDAP
You can choose to enable directory services to authenticate users and authorize user privileges
for groups of iLO 3s. The iLO 3 directory services feature uses the industry-standard LDAP. HP
layers LDAP on top of SSL to transmit the directory services information securely to the directory
servers..
HP provides tools to extend directory schema and install snap-ins for Microsoft Active Directory
and Novell e-directory. Please refer to Chapter 8, “Installing and configuring directory services”
for more information on installation and configuration of directory services.
