Schema documentation
To assist with the planning and approval process, HP provides documentation on the changes made to
the schema during the schema setup process. To review the changes made to your existing schema, refer
to "Directory services Schema (on page
)."
Directory services support
Using HP schema directory integration, iLO 2 supports the following directory services:
•
Microsoft® Active Directory
•
Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 Active Directory
•
Microsoft® Windows® Server 2008 Active Directory
•
Novell eDirectory 8.7.3
•
Novell eDirectory 8.7.1
iLO 2 software is designed to run within the Microsoft® Active Directory Users and Computers and Novell
ConsoleOne management tools, enabling you to manage user accounts on Microsoft® Active Directory or
Novell eDirectory. This solution makes no distinction between eDirectory running on NetWare, Linux, or
Windows®. Spawning an eDirectory schema extension requires Java™ 1.4.0 or later for SSL
authentication.
iLO 2 supports Microsoft® Active Directory running on one of the following operating systems:
•
Windows Server® 2008
•
Windows Server® 2003
iLO 2 supports eDirectory running on Novell.
Schema required software
iLO 2 requires specific software, which will extend the schema and provide snap-ins to manage the iLO 2
network. An HP Smart Component is available for download that contains the schema installer and the
management snap-in installer. The HP Smart Component can be downloaded from the HP website
You cannot run the schema installer on a domain controller that hosts Windows Server® 2008 Core.
Windows Server® 2008 Core does not use a GUI (for security and performance reasons). To use the
schema installer, you must install a GUI on the domain controller or use a domain controller that hosts an
earlier version of Windows®.
Schema installer
Bundled with the schema installer are one or more .xml files. These files contain the schema that will be
added to the directory. Typically, one of these files will contain core schema that is common to all the
supported directory services. Additional files contain only product-specific schemas. The schema installer
requires the use of the .NET framework.
The installer includes three important screens:
