Setup for Schema-free directory integration
Before setting up the Schema-free option, your system must meet all the prerequisites outlined in the
"Active Directory preparation (on page
77 )" section.
You can set up RILOE II for directories in three ways:
• Manually using a browser (" Schema-free browser-based setup " on page 77 ).
• Using a script (" Schema-free scripted setup " on page 77 ).
• Using HPLOMIG (" Schema-free HPLOMIG-based setup " on page 78 ).
Active Directory preparation
The schema-free option is supported on the following operating systems:
• Microsoft® Active Directory
• Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 Active Directory
SSL must be enabled at the directory. To enable SSL, install a certificate for the domain in Active
Directory. RILOE II only communicates with the directory over a secure SSL connection. For more
information, refer to the Microsoft® Knowledge Base, article number 247078: Enabling SSL
Communication over LDAP for Windows® 2000 Domain Controllers on the Microsoft® website
(
http://support.microsoft.com/ ).
To validate the setup, you should have the directory distinguished name for at least one user and the
distinguished name of a security group the user is a member of.
Schema-free browser-based setup
Schema-free can be setup using the RILOE II browser-based interface.
1. Log on to RILOE II using an account that has the Configure RILOE II Settings privilege. Click
Administration.
IMPORTANT: Only users with the Configure RILOE II Settings privilege can change these settings. Users
that do not have the Configure RILOE II Settings privilege can only view the assigned settings.
2. Click Directory Settings.
3. Select Use Directory Default Schema in the Authentication Settings section. For more
information, refer to the "Schema-free setup options (on page
78 )" section.
4. Click Apply Settings.

Schema-free scripted setup
To setup the schema-free directories option using RIBCL XML scripting:
1. Download and review the scripting and command line resource guide.
2. Write a script that configures RILOE II for schema-free directories support and run it. The following
script can be used as a template.
