HP Integrity iLO 2 Operations Guide

• 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 2 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 2.
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 2. All objects listed in the directory can
be identified using their unique distinguished name. However, distinguished names can be
long, users might not know their 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 their full distinguished name at login. iLO 2 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.
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
[e-mail]. Currently, this user credential format is only supported on Internet
Explorer.

LDAP: LDAP group administration
LDAP enters one or more directory groups by specifying the distinguished name of the group and
privileges to be granted to users who are members of that group.
You must configure group administration information when the directory is enabled with the default
schema.
The group administration section of the LDAP command enables users to enter one or more directory
groups by specifying the distinguished name of the group and privileges to be granted to users
who are members of that group.
When a user attempts to log in to iLO 2, iLO 2 reads that user’s directory name in the directory
to determine which groups the user is a member of. iLO 2 compares this information with a list of
configured groups. The rights of all the matched groups are combined and assigned to that user.
