Configuring directory settings
The iLO firmware connects to Microsoft Active Directory, Novell e-Directory, and other LDAP
3.0-compliant directory services for user authentication and authorization. You can configure iLO
to authenticate and authorize users by using the HP Extended Schema directory integration or the
schema-free directory integration. The HP Extended Schema works only with Microsoft Windows.
The iLO firmware connects to directory services by using SSL connections to the directory server
LDAP port. The default secure LDAP port is 636.
For more information about using directory authentication with iLO, see
.
Locally stored user accounts (listed on the User Administration page) can be active when iLO
directory support is enabled. This enables both local-based and directory-based user access.
Typically, you can delete local user accounts (with the possible exception of an emergency access
account) after iLO is configured to access the directory service. You can also disable access to
these accounts when directory support is enabled.
