ILO2 Firmware 1.77 AD Integration Problem

[Ryan Bess]

I have having some issues with some of our ILO2 cards. I have enabled them to authenticate with AD. From time to time AD Authentication stops working even though nothing has changed. The fix is to login locally and reset the ILo2 card. Once reset everything works fine. Anyone else seen this issue.

Thanks,
Ryan

Could you please tell what the advantage of adding it to AD is? I have no idea.

The benefit is accountability/control. You can see who logged in and preformed what action. Also, if you can convince your Schema Admins to extend the schema, you get some pretty cool way of granting persons access to the ILO ports.

What i mean by control is instead of making differnt local users, each with different permissions, you can use the HP dicrectory migration utility and do it in mass via security groups.

Ah, makes sense now. Thanks.
