Standard terms, abbreviations, and acronyms A address address path administrator authentication authorization In networking, a unique code that identifies a node in the network. Names such as host1.hp.com are translated to dott-quad addresses such as 168.124.3.4 by the Domain Name Service (DNS). An address path is one in which each term has the appropriate intervening addressing association. A person managing a system through interaction with management clients, transport clients, and other policies and procedures. The process that verifies the identity of a user in a communication session, or a device or other entity in a computer system, before that user, device, or other entity can access system resources. Session authentication can work in two directions: a server authenticates a client to make access control decisions, and the client can also authenticate the server. With Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the client always authenticates the server. The process of granting specific access privileges to a user. Authorization is based on authentication and access control. B bind BIOS BMC In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), refers to the authentication process that LDAP requires when users access the LDAP directory. Authentication occurs when the LDAP client binds to the LDAP server. Basic Input/Output System. System software that controls the loading of the operating system and testing of hardware when the system is powered on. The BIOS is stored in read-only memory (ROM). Baseboard Management Controller. A device used to manage chassis environmental, configuration, and service functions, and receive event data from other parts of the system. It receives data through sensor interfaces and interprets this data by using the sensor data record (SDR) for which it provides an interface. The BMC also provides an interface to the SEL. Typical functions of the BMC are measuring processor temperature, power supply values, and cooling fan status. The BMC can take autonomous action to preserve system integrity. C CIM Command Line Interface (CLI) Common Information Model (CIM) See Common Information Model. A text user interface (TUI) for interacting with a computer operating system or software by typing commands at a command prompt to perform specific tasks. An industry standard that was developed by the DMTF. CIM describes data about applications and devices so that administrators and software management programs can control applications and devices on different platforms in the same way, ensuring interoperability across a network. CIM provides a common definition of management information for systems, components, networks, applications, and services, and it allows for vendor extensions. CIM common definitions enable vendors to exchange management information between systems. Using techniques of object-oriented programming, CIM provides a consistent definition and structure of data, including expressions for elements such as object classes, properties, associations, and methods. For example, if an enterprise purchases four different servers from four different vendors and networks them together, using CIM, the administrator can view the same information about each of the devices, such as manufacturer and serial number, the device's model number, its location on the network, its storage capacity, and its relationship to the applications that run throughout the network. console The interface between iLO 3 and the server that controls basic functionality. Also known as host console. 142 Standard terms, abbreviations, and acronyms
