Setting up a user for two-factor authentication
To authenticate a user with a local iLO 2 account, a certificate must be associated with the user's local
user name. On the Administration>Modify User page, if a certificate has been mapped to the user, a
thumbprint (an SHA1 hash of the certificate) appears with a button that removes the certificate. If a
certificate has not been mapped to the user, Thumbprint: A certificate has NOT been
mapped to this user appears with a button that starts the certificate import process.
To set up a user for two-factor authentication and add a user certificate:
1.
Log in to iLO 2 using an account that has the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege.
2.
Click Administration>User Administration. Select a user.
3.
Click View/Modify.
4.
Under the User Certificate Information section, click Add a certificate.
5.
On the Map User Certificate page, paste the user certificate into the text-box and click Import
Certificate. For more information on creating, copying, and pasting certificate information, see the
"Setting up two-factor authentication for the first time (on page
)" section.
