Remote Power Control The iLO MP enables remote power cycle; power on and power off; and TOC. It also provides you with options to reset the system, the BMC, or iLO MP. Event Logging The iLO MP provides event logging, display, and keyword search of console history and system events. Advanced Features The advanced features require the iLO MP Advanced Pack license. See "iLO MP Advanced Pack License" (page 21). iLO MP advanced features include the iLO MP standard features as well as the following features: SSH Secure Shell (SSH) is an industry-standard client-server connectivity protocol that provides a secure remote connection. the iLO MP supports: • SSH2 implementation. • Authentication algorithms RSA and DSA. • Encryption algorithms 3DES-CBC and AES128-CBC. • Integrity algorithms HMAC-SHA1 and MD5. HPSIM Group Actions HP Systems Insight Manager (HPSIM) is a system- level management tool that supports executing iLO MP commands using the SSH interface. HPSIM enables you to perform similar management activities across multiple iLO MPs (group actions) without requiring you to access each iLO MP individually. Group actions can be taken regardless of the server power state. For more information about HPSIM, see: http://www.docs.hp.com/go/hpsim. Directory-Based Secure Authorization Using LDAP The directory-based authentication and authorization option enables iLO MP user accounts to be defined in a centralized database on an LDAP server. iLO MP users are authenticated when logging in to the iLO MP and authorization is given each time an iLO MP command runs. This provides a centralized database (LDAP server) of all user accounts and avoids the overhead of creating users in each iLO MP. Directory authentication occurs by enabling Extended Schema or Default Schema. When Extended Schema is used, the schema in the directory server must be extended. When Default Schema is selected, schema extension is not needed. LDAP Lite In Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Light (LDAP Lite) you can use directory authentication for logging into the iLO MP without having to do any schema extension on the directory server or snap-in installation on the client. In addition to general directory integration benefits, iLO MP schema-free integration provides the following: • Minimal maintenance and administration • Reliable security • Complements two-factor authentication Not extending the schema on the directory server means the directory server does not know anything about the iLO MP object or privileges, and the only thing the iLO MP queries from the directory server is to authenticate the user name and password. 20 Introduction to iLO MP

Remote Power Control
The iLO MP enables remote power cycle; power on and power off; and TOC. It also provides
you with options to reset the system, the BMC, or iLO MP.
Event Logging
The iLO MP provides event logging, display, and keyword search of console history and system
events.
Advanced Features
The advanced features require the iLO MP Advanced Pack license. See
“iLO MP Advanced Pack
License” (page 21)
.
iLO MP advanced features include the iLO MP standard features as well as the following features:
SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) is an industry-standard client-server connectivity protocol that provides a
secure remote connection. the iLO MP supports:
•
SSH2 implementation.
•
Authentication algorithms RSA and DSA.
•
Encryption algorithms 3DES-CBC and AES128-CBC.
•
Integrity algorithms HMAC-SHA1 and MD5.
HPSIM Group Actions
HP Systems Insight Manager (HPSIM) is a system- level management tool that supports executing
iLO MP commands using the SSH interface. HPSIM enables you to perform similar management
activities across multiple iLO MPs (group actions) without requiring you to access each iLO MP
individually. Group actions can be taken regardless of the server power state. For more
information about HPSIM, see:

Directory-Based Secure Authorization Using LDAP
The directory-based authentication and authorization option enables iLO MP user accounts to
be defined in a centralized database on an LDAP server. iLO MP users are authenticated when
logging in to the iLO MP and authorization is given each time an iLO MP command runs. This
provides a centralized database (LDAP server) of all user accounts and avoids the overhead of
creating users in each iLO MP. Directory authentication occurs by enabling Extended Schema
or Default Schema. When Extended Schema is used, the schema in the directory server must be
extended. When Default Schema is selected, schema extension is not needed.
LDAP Lite
In Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Light (LDAP Lite) you can use directory authentication
for logging into the iLO MP without having to do any schema extension on the directory server
or snap-in installation on the client. In addition to general directory integration benefits, iLO MP
schema-free integration provides the following:
•
Minimal maintenance and administration
•
Reliable security
•
Complements two-factor authentication
Not extending the schema on the directory server means the directory server does not know
anything about the iLO MP object or privileges, and the only thing the iLO MP queries from the
directory server is to authenticate the user name and password.
