• The minimum length for an iLO user account password is set on the Access Settings page.
Depending on the configured Minimum Password Length value, the password can have
a minimum of zero characters (no password) and a maximum of 39 characters. The default
Minimum Password Length is eight characters.
IMPORTANT: Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not recommend setting the Minimum
Password Length to fewer than eight characters unless you have a physically secure
management network that does not extend outside the secure data center. For information
about setting the Minimum Password Length, see “iLO access settings” (page 61).
IPMI/DCMI users
The iLO firmware follows the IPMI 2.0 specification. When you add IPMI/DCMI users, the login
name must be a maximum of 16 characters, and the password must be a maximum of 20
characters.
When you select iLO user privileges, the equivalent IPMI/DCMI user privilege is displayed in the
IPMI/DCMI Privilege based on above settings box.
• User—A user has read-only access. A user cannot configure or write to iLO, or perform
system actions.
For IPMI User privileges: Disable all privileges. Any combination of privileges that does not
meet the Operator level is an IPMI User.
• Operator—An operator can perform system actions, but cannot configure iLO or manage
user accounts.
For IPMI Operator privileges: Enable Remote Console Access, Virtual Power and Reset,
and Virtual Media. Any combination of privileges greater than Operator that does not meet
the Administrator level is an IPMI Operator.
• Administrator—An administrator has read and write access to all features.
For IPMI Administrator privileges: Enable all privileges.
