You must log in as the administrator in order to modify default user configuration settings. Step 2. To modify default passwords, follow these steps: a. Access the MP Main Menu. b.

Enter CM at the MP> prompt. c. Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify user accounts. Setting Up Security For greater security and reliability, HP recommends that iLO MP management traffic be on a separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access to that network. This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main network, it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks. A separate network enables administrators to physically control which servers are connected to the network. HP also strongly recommends that you modify the default settings during the initial login session and determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. Create local accounts or use directory services to control user access. See "Modifying User Accounts and Default Password" on page 76. Security Access Settings CAUTION When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because anyone can access the iLO MP until you change the default user name and password. HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding. Determine the security access required and user accounts and privileges needed. The iLO MP provides options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent unauthorized access to the iLO MP: • Change the default user name and password. See "Modifying User Accounts and Default Password" on page 76. • Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO MP access. This is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized businesses. • Use directory services. Use the corporate directory to manage iLO MP user access. This is ideal for environments with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to use directory services, HP recommends leaving at least one local account enabled as an alternate method of access. Chapter 1 77
