Initiating an Auto Login Session
The auto login session is initiated as follows:
1. The OA finds the first available auto login user by finding the first user entry with a time-created
value of 0.(OAtmp1...OAtmp4).
2. If there are no available users, the oldest user is deleted.
NOTE: This could terminate a currently active session.
a. The OA sends a request to iLO 2 to delete that user.
3. The OA sends a command to create an OA user.
4. The OA launches an SSH or web GUI connection to iLO 2 and logs in with created user’s
credentials.
Terminating an Auto Login Session
When the auto login CLI or web GUI session is terminated, the following user clean up is performed:
• For auto login sessions, the temporary Auto Login iLO 2 account is deleted when the session
with the iLO 2 is terminated.
User Account Cleanup During IPF Blade Initialization
During an IPF blade initialization, the OA and iLO 2 perform the following:
• When a server blade is inserted, or iLO 2 or the OA is reboot or reset, both the OA and iLO
2 perform cleanup of the accounts that could have been created for auto login before the
reset.
• When iLO 2 initializes, the OA marks all four user slots as unused.
• Integrity iLO 2 scans its local user accounts. If there are any OA created user accounts, they
are deleted from the iLO 2 user database.
Auto Login Troubleshooting
There may be times when auto login fails. The following information provides possible reasons for
the failure
User Creation When the OA sends a request to iLO 2 to create a new user, iLO 2 attempts
to create a user in the local iLO 2 user database. Creation of an OA user
could fail for a number of reasons:
• The local user database is disabled in iLO 2 and LDAP authentication
is being used.
• The iLO 2 user database has reached the maximum number of users
(19 users).
• There is already a user registered with the same login name.
