HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

The LDAP command displays and modifies the following LDAP directory settings:
• Directory Authentication: Activates or deactivates directory support on iLO 3.
Enable with Extended Schema: Selects directory authentication and authorization using
directory objects created with the HP schema. Select this option if the directory server is
extended with the HP schema and you plan to use it.
◦
◦ Enable with Default Schema: Selects directory authentication and authorization using
user accounts in the directory which has not been extended with the HP schema. User
accounts and group memberships are used to authenticate and authorize users. Data in
the Group Administration page must be configured after you select this option. In the
Group Administration page, configure one or more directory groups by entering the
distinguished name of the group and privileges to be granted to users who are members
of that group.
◦ Disable: Deactivates directory support on iLO 3.
• Local User Accounts: Includes or excludes access to local iLO 3 user accounts. If local user
accounts are enabled, you can log in to iLO 3 using locally stored user credentials. If they
are disabled, access is limited to valid directory credentials only.
NOTE: Locally stored user accounts can be active while directory support is enabled. This
enables both local- and directory-based user access. If both directory authentication and local
user accounts are enabled, login is attempted using the directory first, then using local accounts.
• Directory Server IP Address: IP address or host name of the directory server.
• Directory Server LDAP Port: Port number for the secure LDAP service on the server. The default
value for this port is 636.
• Distinguished Name: Specifies where this iLO 3 instance is listed in the directory tree. For
example: cn=MP Server,ou=Management Devices,o=hp
• User Search Contexts (1,2,3): User name contexts that are applied to the login name entered
to access iLO 3.
User name contexts are used to locate an object in the tree structure of the directory server
and applied to the login name entered to access iLO 3. All objects listed in the directory can
be identified using the unique distinguished name. However, distinguished names can be
long, users might not know the distinguished names, or they might have accounts in different
directory contexts. Search contexts enables users to specify common directory contexts, so
that they do not have to enter the full distinguished name at login. The iLO 3 attempts to
authenticate a user in the directory first by the login name entered, and then by applying user
search contexts to that login name until login succeeds. For example:
Instead of logging in as cn=user,ou=engineering,o=hp, search context of
ou=engineering,o=hp enables a user to log in as user.
When extended schema is selected and Active Directory is used as a directory server. Microsoft
Active Directory has an alternate user credential format. A user can log in as:
[e-mail], in which case a search context of @domain.hp.com enables the
user to login as user.
