Domain/name format login issues

To login using the domain/name format, ActiveX controls must be enabled. To verify that your browser is

letting the login script call ActiveX controls open Internet Explorer and set ActiveX controls to Prompt. You

should see a similar to the following figure.

ActiveX controls are enabled and I see a prompt but the
domain/name login format does not work

1.

Log in with a local account and determine the directory server name.

2.

Verify the directory server name is a name and not an IP address.

3.

Verify you can ping the directory server name from your client.

4.

Run directory setup tests. Verify the ping was received successfully. For more information on testing
directory settings, refer the "Directory tests (on page

55

)" section.

User contexts do not appear to work

Check with your network administrator. The full distinguished name of your user object must be in the

directory. Your login name is what appears after the first CN=. The remainder of the distinguished name

should appear in one of the user context fields. User contexts are not case-sensitive. However, anything

else, including spaces are part of the user context.

Directory user does not logout after the directory timeout has
expires

If you set the iLO 2 timeout Infinite timeout, the remote console periodically pings the firmware to verify

that the connection exists. When this ping occurs, the iLO 2 firmware queries the Directory for user

permissions. This periodic query keeps the Directory connection active, preventing a timeout and logging

the user.
