HP ProLiant BL10e G2 Server Blade - Manual (Page 16)

HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Software Features
If a server blade does not respond, this feature enables an administrator to initiate
a cold reboot to bring the server blade back online. The Integrated Administrator
can be used to remotely operate a power button of a server blade.
Integrated Administrator is fully accessible by means of Microsoft® Internet
Explorer and Netscape. This capability enables easy access to the features of
Integrated Administrator.
The Integrated Administrator also has a command line interface (CLI) accessible
using Secure Shell (encrypted) or Telnet (unencrypted) protocols, providing
extensive management capability to remote network users. Local users can
access the CLI by attaching a client computer (using a terminal emulator) or
terminal to the Integrated Administrator’s console (serial) port.
IMPORTANT: With a Telnet session, all data

including passwords

are passed as clear
text.

User administration and security
The Integrated Administrator supports up to 25 users with customizable access
rights and login names. Groups are first assigned bays, and then users are given
membership to those groups. This group-centered methodology is designed to
facilitate user management across server blades.
Integrated Administrator provides strong security for remote management in
distributed IT environments by using industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) encryption of HTTP data transmitted across the network. SSL encryption
(up to 128-bit) ensures that the HTTP information is secure as it travels across
the network. All remote console data can be encrypted as well.
Integrated Administrator provides secure password encryption, tracking all login
attempts and maintaining a record of all login failures. Integrated Administrator
also provides the following additional security features:
— User actions logged in the Integrated Administrator System Log
— Login legal warning
IP Security allows an administrator to define a set of IP addresses that are the
only ones allowed to connect to the services provided (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS,
TELNET, SNMP). This means that an administrator can make sure only a certain
set of machines have access to Integrated Administrator.
