352 User Guide Integrated Lights-Out
Directory User Context 1, Directory User Context 2, Directory User
Context 3
This parameter enables you to specify up to three searchable contexts used to
locate the user when the user is trying to authenticate using the directory.
Directory User Contexts are limited to 128 characters each. Directory User
Contexts enable you to specify directory user containers that are automatically
searched when an iLO login is attempted. This eliminates the requirement of
entering a fully distinguished user name at the login screen. For example, the
search context, "ou=lights out devices,o=corp" would allow the user
"cn=manager,ou=lights out devices,o=corp" to login to iLO using just
"manager." Active Directory allows an additional search context format,
"@hostname" for example, "@directory.corp."
2. Click Test Settings.
A series of tests will begin, and the page will automatically refresh as the tests
progress. View the test status to diagnose the results, and consult the help page
for specific test result details. The test results are cleared if any directory settings
are changed, if iLO is reset, or if the tests are restarted.
Testing Directory Settings
After updating the directory settings, click Apply Settings to store the settings.
When the Test Settings button is enabled, you can validate the current directory
settings. To test these settings:
1. Be sure the Enable Directory Authentication setting is enabled.
3. Enter the fully distinguished name and password of the user used to add iLO
to the directory server in the Directory Administrator Distinguished Name
and Directory Administrator Password fields.
4. Enter the credentials of an expected directory-based iLO User account in the
Test User Name and Test User Password fields.
5. Click Start Test.
