Directory services
Up to six directory groups can be configured in iLO. Use a directory to authenticate and
authorize iLO access. This configuration enables an unlimited number of users and easily scales
to the number of iLO devices in an enterprise.
If you plan to use directory services, consider enabling at least one local administrator account
for alternate access.
A directory provides a central point of administration for iLO devices and users, and the
directory can enforce a strong password policy.
iLO configuration tools
iLO supports various interfaces for configuration and operation. This guide discusses the
following interfaces:
iLO web interface
Use the iLO web interface when you can connect to iLO on the network by using a web
browser. You can also use this method to reconfigure an iLO management processor.
ROM-based setup
Use the BMC Configuration Utility when the system environment does not use DHCP, DNS, or
WINS. Other configuration options not discussed in this guide follow:
EXPRESSBUILDER
To start EXPRESSBUILDER, press F10 during POST.
iLO RESTful API
A management interface that server management tools can use to perform configuration,
inventory, and monitoring of a supported server through iLO.
Scripting
You can use scripting to set up multiple iLO management processors. You can use scripts to
configure iLO on the network during initial deployment or from a deployed host.
