2.5.2.5
Local Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)
The Integrated BMC firmware supports the Local Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)
protocol for user authentication.
Note
: IPMI users/passwords and sessions are not supported over LDAP.
2.5.2.6
Embedded Webserver
The Integrated BMC provides an embedded web server for out-of-band management. User
authentication is handled by IPMI user names and passwords. Base functionality for the
embedded web server includes:
±
Power Control – Limited control based on IPMI user privilege.
±
Sensor Reading – Limited access based on IPMI user privilege.
±
SEL Reading – Limited access based on IPMI user privilege.
±
KVM/Media Redirection – Limited access based on IPMI user privilege. Only
available when the Intel
®
RMM3 Lite-V module is present.
±
IPMI User Management – Limited access based on IPMI user privilege.
The web server is available on all enabled LAN channels.
See Appendix B for Integrated BMC core sensors.
2.5.3
Management Engine (ME)
Intel Management Engine is tied to essential platform functionality. This Management Engine
firmware includes the following applications:
±
Platform Clocks – Tune PCH clock silicon to the parameters of a specific board,
configure clocks at run time, power management clocks.
±
Thermal Report – ME FW reports thermal and power information available only on
PECI to host accessible registers / Embedded Controller via SMBus.
2.5.4
SMBIOS
2.5.4.1
Data Storage
BIOS retrieve the SMBIOS data from flash during POST, and it builds the SMBIOS type 1,
2, 3 into SMBIOS table and then transfers the control to operating system. Operating system
and system management software can use the SMBIOS table for system management
purpose.
2.5.5
Event log and Viewer
2.5.5.1
Event Log Viewer in Setup
On Intel
®
Server System SR1640TH, there is a dedicated utility to view the event log. There
is one page in BIOS setup for event log viewer. It is located in Error Manager Page.
