NOTE: LDAP directory settings is an iLO MP Advanced Pack license feature that enables centralized user account administration using directory services. LDAP displays and enables modification of the following LDAP directory settings: • Directory Authentication: Activates or deactivates directory support on the iLO MP. - Enable with Extended Schema: Selects directory authentication and authorization using directory objects created with HP schema. Select this option if the directory server is extended with the HP schema and you plan to use it. - Enable with Default Schema: selects directory authentication and authorization using user accounts in the directory, which has not been extended with the HP schema. User accounts and group memberships are used to authenticate and authorize users. Data in the Group Administration page must be configured after you select this option. In the Group Administration page, configure one or more directory groups by entering the distinguished name of the group and privileges to be granted to users who are members of that group. - Disable: Deactivates directory support on the iLO MP. • Local User Accounts: Includes or excludes access to local iLO MP user accounts. If local user accounts are enabled, you can log into the iLO MP using locally stored user credentials. If they are disabled, access is limited to valid directory credentials only. NOTE: Locally stored user accounts can be active while directory support is enabled. This enables both local- and directory-based user access. If both directory authentication and local user accounts are enabled, login is attempted using the directory first, then using local accounts. • Directory Server IP Address: IP address of the directory server. • Directory Server LDAP Port: Port number for the secure LDAP service on the server. The default value for this port is 636. • Distinguished Name: Specifies where this iLO MP instance is listed in the directory tree. For example: cn=MP Server,ou=Management Devices,o=hp • User Search Contexts (1,2,3): User name contexts are used to locate an object in the tree structure of the directory server and applied to the login name entered to access the iLO MP. User name contexts are used to locate an object in the tree structure of the directory server and applied to the login name entered to access the iLO MP. All objects listed in the directory can be identified using their unique distinguished name. However, distinguished names can be long, users might not know their distinguished names, or they might have accounts in different directory contexts. Search contexts enables users to specify common directory contexts, so that they do not have to enter their full distinguished name at login. iLO MP attempts to authenticate a user in the directory first by the login name entered, and then by applying user search contexts to that login name until login succeeds. For example: Instead of logging in as cn=user,ou=engineering,o=hp, search context of ou=engineering,o=hp enables a user to log in as user When extended schema is selected and Active Directory is used as a directory server. Microsoft Active Directory has an alternate user credential format. A user can log in as: [email protected], in which case a search context of @domain.hp.com enables the user to login as user.
