Using SSL
SSL is a protocol used to transmit private documents through the Internet. SSL uses a private key or
certificate to encrypt data transferred over the SSL connection. The Lights-Out 100 remote management
processor provides security for remote management in distributed IT environments by using an industry-
standard encryption protocol for data traveling on unsecured networks.
SSL is an advanced feature available by installing the Lights-Out 100c Remote Management Card or
purchasing the Lights-Out 100i Select Pack or the Lights-Out 100i Advanced Pack. For more information,
see the section, "LO100 optional features (on page 6 )."
LO100 comes preinstalled with a certificate. To install a user-specific certificate, see the one-time
"Importing a certificate (on page 42 )" setup procedure.
If you cannot access the login page, you must verify the SSL encryption level of your browser is set to 128
bits. The SSL encryption level within the management processor is set to 128 bits and cannot be changed.
The browser and management processor encryption levels must be the same.
To use the preinstalled certificate, enter
https://ipaddress
in the address line of the browser, which
uses SSL-encrypted communication. Enter
http://ipaddress
to use non-SSL encrypted communication.
Using SSH
SSH is a telnet-like program for logging in to and executing commands on a remote machine, which
includes security with authentication, encryption, and data integrity features. The Lights-Out 100 remote
management processor can support simultaneous access from two SSH clients. After SSH is connected
and authenticated, the command line interface is available. LO100 supports two simultaneous SSH
connections.
SSH is an advanced feature available by installing the Lights-Out 100c Remote Management Card or
purchasing the Lights-Out 100i Select Pack or the Lights-Out 100i Advanced Pack. For more information,
see the section, "LO100 optional features (on page 6 )."
