Directory Services Support
Integrity iLO 2 supports the following directory services:
• Microsoft Active Directory
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory
• Novell eDirectory 8.6.2
• Novell eDirectory 8.7
The iLO 2 software is designed to run within the Microsoft Active Directory Users and Computers,
and Novell ConsoleOne management tools. This enables you to manage user accounts on Microsoft
Active Directory or Novell eDirectory. There is no distinction made between eDirectory running on
NetWare, Linux, or Windows. To spawn an eDirectory schema extension, you must have Java
1.4.2 or later for SSL authentication.
Integrity iLO 2 supports Microsoft Active Directory running on one of the following operating
systems:
• Windows 2000 family
• Windows Server 2003 family
NOTE: For instances when user authentication uses the LDAP directory server that is configured
for Microsoft Active Directory, a user can log in using the username format user@domain.hp.com.
Currently, this user credential format is only supported on Internet Explorer.
Integrity iLO 2 supports eDirectory 8.6.2 and 8.7 running on one of the following operating
systems:
• Windows 2000 family
• Windows Server 2003 family
• NetWare 5.x
• NetWare 6.x
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1
• Red Hat Linux 7.3
• Red Hat Linux 8.0
eDirectory Installation Prerequisites
Directory services for iLO 2 uses LDAP over SSL to communicate with the directory servers. iLO 2
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 2, an administrator must extend the eDirectory schema.
