Connect-HPEiLO using SmartCard (certificate)

[PhS-]

Hello, 

We have configured the iLO to use "Zero Sign In" (kerberos), and it is working properly.
What about PowerShell ?
I would like to be able to use the HPEiLOcmdlets using kerberos. ( idealy, connect with my certificat ) ... something like

Connect-HPEiLO -IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Certificate $cert

Is it possible ?
iLO 4 version 2.77 (Gen9 Proliant)

My query is the following.

I have DL380 Gen 9 servers, so iLO 4. I have configured these iLO for Zero Sign In which works fine (my user is authenticated in the browser automaticaly, no need to provide credentials - Kerberos authentication).

My user is Smart Card only.

Now I would like to use powershell to the iLO, so using

Connect-HPEiLO -IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

But how can I authenticate ?

Hello

Please try as below.

A pre-requisite for this is to install the iLO cmdlet’s on your computer. They can be downloaded here

1.    Add a DNS A record on the local Domain Controller for the iLO.

Thank you for your reply, but this does not lead to anything ...

Yes I have the iLO cmdlet's installed (else I would not be able to launch the Connect-HPEiLO.

My iLO are correctly confgured regarding DNS, Firmware, NTP. I have a Advance Key. all is good and working properly. I can authenticate to the iLO using my browser whith my Windows account (iLO configured with ZeroSign In / Kerberos).

But I want to be able to connect to the iLO using PowerShell with my account (Smart Card Only) ... how can I do that ?

Hello,

I would suggest, you have to log a proper case with HPE, and share the appropriate logs for further analysis.
