Directory services for eDirectory

The following sections provide installation prerequisites, preparation instructions, and a working
example of directory services for eDirectory.

eDirectory installation prerequisites

Directory services for iLO uses LDAP over SSL to communicate with the directory servers. iLO
software is designed to be installed in an eDirectory version 8.6.1 (and later) tree. HP does not
recommend installing this product if you have eDirectory servers with a version earlier than eDirectory
8.6.1.

Before you install snap-ins and schema extensions for eDirectory, you must read and have available
the following technical documents, available from the Novell Technical Support website at

.

Installing directory services for iLO requires extending the eDirectory schema. An administrator
must complete the task of extending the schema. For more information, see the following Novell
