Initiating an auto login session 1. The OA finds the first available auto login user by finding the first user entry with a time-created value of 0. (OAtmp1...OAtmp5). 2. If there are no available users, the oldest user is deleted. NOTE: This might terminate a currently active session. The OA sends a request to iLO 3 to delete that user. 3. The OA sends a command to create an OA user. 4. The OA launches an SSH or web GUI connection to iLO 3 and logs in with the created user's credentials. Terminating an auto login session When the auto login CLI or web GUI session is terminated, the temporary Auto Login iLO 3 account is deleted when the session with the iLO 3 is terminated. User account cleanup during IPF blade initialization The OA and iLO 3 perform the following during an IPF blade initialization: • When a server blade is inserted, or iLO 3 or the OA is reboot or reset, both the OA and iLO perform cleanup of the accounts that could have been created for auto login before the reset. • When iLO 3 initializes, the OA marks all four user slots as unused. • Integrity iLO 3 scans its local user accounts. If there are any OA-created user accounts, they are deleted from the iLO 3 user database. Auto login troubleshooting There might be times when auto login fails. The following information provides possible reasons for the failure: User creation When the OA sends a request to iLO 3 to create a new user, iLO 3 attempts to create a user in the local iLO 3 user database. Creation of an OA user could fail for a number of reasons: • The local user database is disabled in iLO 3 and LDAP authentication is being used. • The iLO 3 user database has reached the maximum number of users (19 users).

Initiating an auto login session
1.
The OA finds the first available auto login user by finding the first user entry with a time-created
value of 0. (OAtmp1...OAtmp5).
2.
If there are no available users, the oldest user is deleted.
NOTE:
This might terminate a currently active session.
The OA sends a request to iLO 3 to delete that user.
3.
The OA sends a command to create an OA user.
4.
The OA launches an SSH or web GUI connection to iLO 3 and logs in with the created user’s
credentials.
Terminating an auto login session
When the auto login CLI or web GUI session is terminated, the temporary Auto Login iLO 3 account
is deleted when the session with the iLO 3 is terminated.
User account cleanup during IPF blade initialization
The OA and iLO 3 perform the following during an IPF blade initialization:
•
When a server blade is inserted, or iLO 3 or the OA is reboot or reset, both the OA and iLO
perform cleanup of the accounts that could have been created for auto login before the reset.
•
When iLO 3 initializes, the OA marks all four user slots as unused.
•
Integrity iLO 3 scans its local user accounts. If there are any OA-created user accounts, they
are deleted from the iLO 3 user database.
Auto login troubleshooting
There might be times when auto login fails. The following information provides possible reasons
for the failure:
User creation
When the OA sends a request to iLO 3 to create a new user, iLO 3 attempts to create a user in
the local iLO 3 user database. Creation of an OA user could fail for a number of reasons:
•
The local user database is disabled in iLO 3 and LDAP authentication is being used.
•
The iLO 3 user database has reached the maximum number of users (19 users).
