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, the following message displays, as
well as a button that starts the certificate import process:

Thumbprint: A certificate has NOT been mapped to this user

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.
