Problem:
How can I use Microsoft Active Directory servers to authenticate HPE iLO 5 logins?
Solution:
1. Login to the iLO interface and click Administration> Directory Groups> New
2. Collect the distinguished name for the group you want to use for authentication from the Attribute Editor
3. Paste the DN in and select the permissions you want to give the group
4. Select Security> Directory> Change the drop down to Use Directory Default Schema
5. Enter your domain controller DNS name, port 636 and add the DN for the OU where the security group is located
6. Click Apply and then Test Settings
7. Enter your credentials and click start test
8. You should see a User Authentication Success
Hey Robin, how are you doing?
Is it normal to face a “Unable to resolve host name ” error while trying to connect an iLO5 to Active Directory LDAP?
Even if i try using direct ip for the Directory Server Address, same dns related issue happens.
It’s a bug in fw 2.42, after I upgraded the unable to resolve error went away.
For LDAPS to work over 636 do you need anything in that “Certificate Status” Box?
I would have thought you would add the Root CA Cert to the trusted store somewhere on the ILO but yours seems to be working without.
Any ideas what that section actually does?
Thanks,
