General security guidelines
The following are general guidelines concerning security for RILOE II:
•
For maximum security, RILOE II should be set up on a separate management network.
•
RILOE II should not be connected directly to the Internet.
•
A 128-bit cipher strength browser must be used.
Password guidelines
The following is a list of recommended password guidelines:
•
Never write down or recorded passwords.
•
Never share passwords with others.
•
Passwords generally should not be words that are in a dictionary or are easy to guess, such as
company names, product names, user names, or a user's user ID.
•
Passwords should include at least three of the following characteristics:
•
At least one numeric character

At least one uppercase character
Passwords issued for a temporary user ID, a password reset, or a locked-out user ID should also conform

set the minimum password length to fewer than eight characters is not recommended unless you have a
physically secure management network that does not extend outside the secure data center.
Encryption
RILOE II provides strong security for remote management in distributed IT environments by using 128-bit
SSL encryption of HTTP data transmitted across the network. SSL encryption ensures that the HTTP
information is secure as it travels across the network.
Remote Console data is protected using 128-bit RC4 bidirectional encryption.
