• Compatibility-Lights-Out directory integration applies to iLO 2, RILOE and RILOE II products. The integration supports the popular Active Directory and eDirectory. • Standards-Lights-Out directory support builds on top of the LDAP 2.0 standard for secure directory access. Advantages and disadvantages of schema-free directories and HP schema directory Directories enhance security, enabling you to manage access and rights from a centralized location. Directories also enable flexible configuration. Some directory configuration practices work better with iLO 2 than others. Before configuring iLO 2 for directories, you must decide whether to use the schema-free directory or the HP schema directory integration methods. Answer the following questions to help evaluate your directory integration requirements: 1. Can you apply schema extensions to your directory? o No-Are you using Microsoft Active Directory? o No-Directory integration might not fit your environment. Consider deploying an evaluation directory server to assess the benefits of directory integration. - Yes-Use group-based schema-free directory integration. o Yes-Proceed to question 2. 2. Is your configuration scalable? o No-Deploy an instance of the schema-free directory integration to evaluate whether or not this directory integration method meets your policy and procedural requirements. If necessary, you can deploy HP schema directory integration later. o Yes-Use HP schema directory integration. The following questions can help you determine if your configuration is scalable: o Are you likely to changes the rights or privileges for a group of directory users? o Will you regularly script iLO 2 changes? o Do you use more than five groups to control iLO 2 privileges?
