This setting enables you to change the login model of the CLI feature
through the serial port. The following settings are valid:

Enabled-Authentication
Required

Serial Command Line
Interface Status

Enabled – Authentication Required

Enabled – No Authentication

Disabled

This setting enables you to use the serial port to change the speed of
the serial port for the CLI feature. The following speeds (in bits/s) are

9600

Serial Command Line
Interface Speed

valid: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. The serial port
configuration must be set to No parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit
(N/8/1) for proper operation. The serial port speed that is set by this
parameter must match the speed of the serial port set in the System
ROM RBSU setup.

This setting specifies the minimum number of characters allowed when
a user password is set or changed. The character length can be set at
a value from 0 to 39.

This setting enables you to configure logging criteria for failed
authentications. All login types are supported and every login type
works independently. The following are valid settings:

Enabled-Every 3rd
Failure

Authentication Failure
Logging

Enabled-Every Failure – A failed login log entry is recorded after
every failed login attempt.

Enabled-Every 2nd Failure – A failed login log entry is recorded
after every second failed login attempt.

Enabled-Every 3rd Failure – A failed login log entry is recorded
after every third failed login attempt.

Enabled-Every 5th Failure – A failed login log entry is recorded after
every fifth failed login attempt.

Disabled – No failed login log entry is recorded.

This setting enables you to capture the serial port output messages into
a circular log buffer. The following settings are valid:

Disabled

Virtual Serial Port Log

Enabled - Virtual serial Port log feature is enabled.

Disabled - Virtual serial Port log feature is disabled.

When logging in to iLO 2 with Telnet or SSH clients, the number of login name and password
prompts offered by iLO 2 matches the value of the Authentication Failure Logging parameter (or
3 when it is disabled.) However, the number of prompts might also be affected by your Telnet and
SSH client configurations. Telnet and SSH logins also implement delays after login failure. During
the delay, login is disabled so no login failure occurs. As an example, to generate an SSH
authentication failure log with a default value (for instance, Enabled-Every 3rd Failure), three
consecutive login failures occur as follows (assuming the SSH client is configured with the number
of password prompts >= 3):

1.

Run the SSH client and log in with an incorrect login name and password. You will receive
three password prompts. After the third incorrect password, the connection terminates, and
the first login failure is recorded. The SSH login failure counter is set to 1.

2.

Run the SSH client until receiving the login prompt. Log in with an incorrect login name and
password. You will receive three password prompts. After the third incorrect password, the
