LDAP and MP Login for Integrity Cell-Based Servers This section provides information on LDAP and MP login access rights and partition configuration in iLO 2 for Integrity cell-based servers. System administrators can use this information to create and assign access rights. This section explains the following: • User login functions when configured with different rights for different partitions • User management and privileges required to execute commands in iLO 2 Integrity iLO 2 is an independent support processor that provides system manageability features for a multi-partition server. The following rules apply: • Multiple users can simultaneously log in through the LAN port and independently manage partitions or view the server status. • Local or LDAP users can have rights. • A user who has rights on multiple partitions can have the same or different rights for each partition. • For all operations that are not partition-specific, a user must have a specific right for all partitions to which access is granted. The iLO 2 supports multiple sessions that perform independent tasks and enables the following usage models: • A user can have multiple windows logged into iLO 2, and can perform long-term tasks such as monitoring virtual front panels or studying event logs in some windows while simultaneously performing short-term tasks like administering partitions from other windows. • A user can independently connect to different partitions and manage them simultaneously. • A user can reset a partition from one window and monitor the boot from another window while interacting with the console from yet another. User Accounts LDAP enables you to define iLO 2 user accounts in a centralized database on an LDAP server. LDAP directory support is an iLO 2 advanced feature that enables centralized, user account administration using directory services. Commands The iLO 2 commands have access levels to manage users effectively. Because iLO 2 commands work at different combinations of these access levels, you must understand how to categorize the commands. The iLO 2 user interface has commands that can be classified into the following categories. Each category requires certain access rights as shown in Table 7-3. Partition-specific Commands These commands are partition-specific. They include commands that operate on a specified partition. 78 Configuring DHCP, DNS, LDAP, and Schema-Free LDAP

LDAP and MP Login for Integrity Cell-Based Servers
This section provides information on LDAP and MP login access rights and partition configuration
in iLO 2 for Integrity cell-based servers. System administrators can use this information to create
and assign access rights.
This section explains the following:
•
User login functions when configured with different rights for different partitions
•
User management and privileges required to execute commands in iLO 2
Integrity iLO 2 is an independent support processor that provides system manageability features
for a multi-partition server.
The following rules apply:
•
Multiple users can simultaneously log in through the LAN port and independently manage
partitions or view the server status.
•
Local or LDAP users can have rights.
•
A user who has rights on multiple partitions can have the same or different rights for each
partition.
•
For all operations that are not partition-specific, a user must have a specific right for all
partitions to which access is granted.
The iLO 2 supports multiple sessions that perform independent tasks and enables the following
usage models:
•
A user can have multiple windows logged into iLO 2, and can perform long-term tasks such
as monitoring virtual front panels or studying event logs in some windows while
simultaneously performing short-term tasks like administering partitions from other
windows.
•
A user can independently connect to different partitions and manage them simultaneously.
•
A user can reset a partition from one window and monitor the boot from another window
while interacting with the console from yet another.
User Accounts
LDAP enables you to define iLO 2 user accounts in a centralized database on an LDAP server.
LDAP directory support is an iLO 2 advanced feature that enables centralized, user account
administration using directory services.
Commands
The iLO 2 commands have access levels to manage users effectively. Because iLO 2 commands
work at different combinations of these access levels, you must understand how to categorize
the commands.
The iLO 2 user interface has commands that can be classified into the following categories. Each
category requires certain access rights as shown in
Table 7-3
.
Partition-specific Commands
These commands are partition-specific. They include commands
that operate on a specified partition.
