IMPORTANT: Invalid IP addresses will disable the ability for the OA to do Single Sign On (SSO) to the AUX blade(s). Alternatively, assigning a valid IP address and Gateway such as 192.168.2.x (local only to the enclosure) will enable the OA for minor blade management without requiring network DHCP addresses. For more information on assigning IP addresses on auxiliary blades, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide on the HP website at HP BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator. Auto login Auto login provides direct access to iLO 3 from the OA for users who already logged in to the OA. A user who has authenticated the connection to the OA can follow a link to a server blade in the enclosure without an additional login step. Auto login features and usage are as follows: • A user who has authenticated a connection to the OA is able to establish a connection with iLO 3 without providing the user login and password to iLO 3. • The OA provides the following auto login connection methods to iLO 3 links to users to launch these connections to iLO 3: iLO CLI SSH connection If you logged in to the OA CLI through SSH, enter connect server to establish an SSH connection with iLO 3. iLO web GUI connection If you logged in to the OA web GUI, click on the link to launch the iLO web GUI. • Auto login is implemented using IPMI over Ethernet between the OA and iLO 3 to create and delete user commands. • Supports a maximum of five simultaneous OA user accounts. The OA keeps track of these users locally. The information maintained for each user is the user name, password, and privilege levels. • User accounts for the auto login feature are created in the MP database when an auto login session is established. These accounts are deleted when the auto login session is terminated. • If a maximum number of user accounts has already been reached, and the OA creates another account on iLO 3. The OA sends a request to iLO 3 to delete one of the previously created accounts, before attempting to create a new one. • If iLO 3 is rebooted or power-cycled, it verifies any previously created OA user accounts in the iLO 3 user database when it boots up. If there are any previously-created OA user accounts, it deletes those accounts. • View and manage user accounts created in iLO 3 by the OA like any other local user account on iLO 3. To view and manage user accounts, use the TUI WHO, UC commands; or use the User Administration page in the web GUI. • View and disconnect user connections established through the auto login feature just like other connections to iLO 3. To view and disconnect user connections, use the TUI WHO, DI commands, or use the User Administration pages in the web GUI. • The OA supports three types of users: administrators, operators, and users. These user types map to the following iLO 3 capabilities: Administrators Can perform any function including iLO 3 MP configuration. This level equates to an iLO 3 user with all privilege levels such as, Administer User Accounts, Remote Console Access, Virtual Power and Reset, Virtual Media, and Configure iLO MP settings. It enables access to all aspects of the OA including configuration, firmware updates, user management, and resetting default settings. Server blade connection 23
