Security
You must have strong security surrounding the iLO 2 device. HP security requirements for iLO 2
include the following:
Authentication Integrity iLO 2 incorporates authentication techniques with the use of 128-bit
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. It is password based for web and
password- and key-based for secure shell (SSH).
Authorization Using local accounts, iLO 2 enables you to define up to 19 separate users
and to vary the server access rights of each user. The directory services
capabilities of iLO 2 enables you to maintain network user accounts and
security policies in a central, scalable database that supports thousands of
users, devices, and management roles.
Integrity Integrity iLO 2 incorporates a trusted Java applet for vMedia.
Privacy Integrity iLO 2 uses SSL for web connections, RSL-RC4 encryption for IRC
and remote serial console, and 3DES-CBC/AES128-CBD recommended
encryption algorithms for SSH-based connections. You can enable or disable
Telnet, IPMI over LAN, web, and SSH connectivity.
