Description

Test

NOTE:

You can enter a LOM Object Distinguished Name on the Security

→Directory

page only when Use HP Extended Schema is selected. This test is run even if LDAP Directory
Authentication is disabled.

If the tests is successful, iLO found the object that represents itself.

If a failure occurs:

1. Verify that the LDAP FQDN of the LOM object is correct.
2. Try to update the HP Extended Schema and snap-ins in the directory server by updating

the HP Directories Support for ProLiant Management Processors software.

Result—Reports status for a specific directory setting or an operation that uses one or more
directory settings. These results are generated when a sequence of tests is run. The results stop
when the tests run to completion, when a test failure prevents further progress, or when the
tests are stopped. Test results follow:

Passed—The test ran successfully. If more than one directory server was tested, all servers
that ran this test were successful.

Not Run—The test was not run.

Failed—The test was unsuccessful on one or more of the directory servers. Directory
support might not be available on those servers.

Warning—The test ran and reported a warning condition, for example, a certificate error.
Check the Notes column for suggested actions to correct the warning condition.

Notes—Indicates the results of various phases of the directory tests. The data is updated with
failure details and information that is not readily available, like the directory server certificate
subject and which roles were evaluated successfully.

Using the directory test controls

The Directory Test Controls section enables you to view the current state of the directory tests, adjust
the test parameters, start and stop the tests, and refresh the page contents.

In Progress—Indicates that directory tests are currently being performed in the background.
Click the Stop Test button to cancel the current tests, or click the Refresh button to update the
contents of the page with the latest results. Using the Stop Test button might not stop the tests
immediately.

Not Running—Indicates that directory tests are current, and that you can supply new parameters
to run the tests again. Use the Start Test button to start the tests and use the current test control
values. Directory tests cannot be started after they are already in progress.

Stopping—Indicates that directory tests have not yet reached a point where they can stop.
You cannot restart tests until the status changes to Not Running. Use the Refresh button to
determine whether the tests are complete.

For information about the parameters you can enter, see

“Running directory tests” (page 73)

Using encryption

iLO provides enhanced security for remote management in distributed IT environments. SSL
encryption protects web browser data. SSL encryption of HTTP data ensures that the data is secure
as it is transmitted across the network. iLO supports the following cipher strengths:

256-bit AES with RSA, DHE, and a SHA1 MAC

256-bit AES with RSA, and a SHA1 MAC
