The following sections provide installation prerequisites, preparation, and a working example of Directory
Services for eDirectory.
eDirectory installation prerequisites
Directory Services for iLO 2 uses LDAP over SSL to communicate with the directory servers. iLO 2 software
is designed to install in an eDirectory version 8.6.1 (and above) tree. HP does not recommend installing
this product if you have eDirectory servers with a version less than eDirectory 8.6.1. Before installing
snap-ins and schema extensions for eDirectory, you should read and have available the following
technical information documents, available at Novell Support (

).
Installing Directory Services for iLO 2 requires extending the eDirectory schema. Extending the schema
must be completed by an Administrator.
