ilo4 -- can't configure IP: specious "User not authorized." messages

[anthony11]

I've had this on a DL580G7, a DL360pGen8, and now a DL380pGen8.

iLO lets me log in as Administrator using the password printed on the system tag, but when I attempt to set the IP address, reset, or just about anything, I get a bogus denial.  Note that these are servers, and that iLO stands for "Integrated Lights Out".  Doing this from the CLI is documented, and it's always worked fine on Sun / Oracle hardware.

These are not desktops and they are not in a staffed location.  DHCP is not an option, and neither is a legacy monitor/keyboard.

Any wisdom out there?
