DescriptionItem
User search contexts locate an object in the tree structure of the directory server and are
applied to the login name entered to access the iLO MP.
User Search Contexts (1,2,3)
All objects listed in the directory can be identified using the unique distinguished name.
However, distinguished names can be long, or users might not know the distinguished
usernames, or they may have accounts in different directory contexts. Search contexts
enable the user to specify common directory contexts, so that users 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 successful. For example:
Example 1: Instead of logging in as cn=user,ou=engineering,o=hp, A search
context of ou=engineering,o=hp allows the user to login as user.
Example 2: (This format can be used only 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 may login as: [e-mail], in which case a search
context of @domain.hp.com allows the user to login as user.

Network Settings
The Network Settings page enables you to access the following tabs:
• Standard
• Domain Name Server
IMPORTANT: If you are connected through a network and you make any changes to DHCP
status, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway IP address, iLO 3 automatically resets after you confirm
the change. The automatic reset occurs only after a warning appears before you save the changes.
If you enter -nc, no warning appears and iLO 3 reboots.
If you are connected through a serial console and you make any changes to DHCP status, IP
address, subnet mask, or gateway IP address, iLO 3 alerts you to manually reset iLO 3. A warning
about dropped network connections is sent prior to committing the change. The warning does not
appear if you enter -nc.
If a firmware upgrade is in progress, the commitment phase to the LC command fails and indicates
that an upgrade or reset is in progress, and changes to the LC parameters are not made.
Network Settings>Standard
The Standard tab enables you to configure the network settings and LAN configuration. To configure
the network settings, you must have the Configure iLO Settings user right.
NOTE: If valid changes are made to the DHCP Status, IP Address, Subnet Mask, or Gateway
Address, and the changes are submitted, a reset of iLO 3 is required for the changes to take effect.
