N/A

This parameter enables you to specify up to three
searchable contexts used to locate the user when
the user is trying to authenticate using the
directory. Directory User Contexts are limited to
128 characters each. Directory User Contexts
enable you to specify directory user containers that
are automatically searched when an RILOE II login
is attempted. This eliminates the requirement of
entering a fully distinguished user name at the
login page. For example, the search context,
"ou=lights out devices,o=corp" would allow the
user "cn=manager,ou=lights out devices,o=corp"
to log in to RILOE II using just "manager." Active
Directory allows an additional search context
format, "@hostname" for example,
"@directory.corp."

Group administration

The Group Administration option on the Directory Settings page allows users with the Administer Directory
Groups privilege to view RILOE II groups and modify the settings of those groups.

To modify a group:

1.

Select the group and click View/Modify. The Modify Group page appears allowing you to assign
the rights available to each users in the selected group in the Active Directory server.

2.

Enter the full context of the group in the Security Group Distinguished Name field.

3.

Click Save Group Information to accept any changes or click Restore Group Information
to restore the previously saved settings.
