• User accounts for the Auto-Login feature are created in the MP database when an Auto-Login
session is established. These accounts are deleted when the Auto-Login session is terminated.
• If a maximum number of user accounts has already been reached, and OA creates another
account on iLO 2 MP. The OA sends a request to iLO 2 MP to delete one of the previously
created accounts, before attempting to create a new one.
• If iLO 2 MP is rebooted or power-cycled, it checks if there are any previously created OA
user accounts in the iLO 2 MP user database when it boots up. If there are any
previously-created OA user accounts, it deletes those accounts.
• View and manage user accounts created in iLO 2 MP by OA like any other local user account
on iLO 2 MP. To view and manage user accounts, use the TUI WHO, UC commands; or use
the User Administration Page in the web GUI.
• View and disconnect user connections established through the Auto-Login feature just like
other connections to iLO 2 MP. To view and disconnect user connections, use the TUI WHO,
DI commands, or use the User Administration Page in the web GUI.
• OA supports three types of users: administrators, operators, and users. These user types
map to the following iLO 2 MP capabilities:
Administrators Can perform any function including iLO 2 MP configuration. This
level equates to an iLO 2 MP user with all privilege levels such as,
Administer User Accounts, Remote Console Access, Virtual Power
and Reset, Virtual Media, and Configure iLO settings. It allows access
to all aspects of the OA including configuration, firmware updates,
user management, and resetting default settings.
Operators Provided access to the host system IRC, serial console, and vMedia.
This level equates to an iLO 2 MP user with Remote Console Access,
Virtual Power and Reset, Virtual Media, and Configure iLO settings.
It allows access to all but configuration changes and user
management. This account is used for individuals who might be
required to periodically change configuration settings.
Users Provided read-only login access to the iLO 2 MP. This account is used
for individuals who need to see the configuration of the OA but do
not need the ability to change settings. This level equates to an iLO
2 MP user with no privileges set.
NOTE: For information on how to set user roles and privilege levels in the OA, see the HP
BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.
Initiating an Auto-Login Session
The Auto-Login session is initiated in the following way:
1. OA finds the first available auto-login user by finding the first user entry with a time-created
value of 0.(OAtmp1...OAtmp4).
2. If there are no available users, the oldest user is deleted.
NOTE: This could terminate a currently active session.
a. OA sends a request to iLO 2 MP to delete that user.
3. OA sends a command to create an OA user.
4. OA launches an SSH or Web GUI connection to iLO 2 MP and logs in with created user’s
credentials.
