CAC smart card authentication
You can configure common access smart cards together with local accounts and directory services to manage iLO
user access.
iLO configuration tools
iLO supports various interfaces for configuration and operation. The primary interfaces discussed in this guide include the
following:
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 iLO 5 Configuration Utility when the system environment does not use DHCP, DNS, or WINS.
Other iLO configuration tools
iLO configuration options not discussed in this guide follow:
Intelligent Provisioning
To start Intelligent Provisioning, press
F10 during POST.
You can also access Always On Intelligent Provisioning through the iLO web interface. For more information, see the
Intelligent Provisioning user guide.
iLO RESTful API
A management interface that server management tools can use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring
of a supported server through iLO. For more information, see the following website:
HPE Scripting Toolkit
This toolkit is a server deployment product for IT experts that provides unattended automated installation for high-
volume server deployments. For more information, see the Scripting Toolkit user guide for Windows or Linux.
Scripting
You can use scripting to set up multiple iLO management processors. Scripts are XML files written for a scripting
language called RIBCL. You can use RIBCL scripts to configure iLO on the network during initial deployment or from a
deployed host.
The following methods are available:
•
HPQLOCFG—A Windows command-line utility that sends RIBCL scripts over the network to iLO.
•
HPONCFG—A local online scripted setup utility that runs on the host and passes RIBCL scripts to the local iLO.
When iLO is configured to use the CNSA security state, only HPONCFG for Linux is supported.
•
Custom scripting environments (LOCFG.PL)—The iLO scripting samples include a Perl sample that can be used
to send RIBCL scripts to iLO over the network.
•
SMASH CLP—A command-line protocol that can be used when a command line is accessible through SSH or the
physical serial port.
For more information about these methods, see the iLO scripting and command-line guide.
iLO sample scripts are available at the following website:
