Directory User Context 1, Directory User Context 2, Directory User Context 3
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 iLO login is attempted. This eliminates the requirement of entering a fully distinguished user name at the login screen. For example, the search context, "ou=lights out devices,o=corp" would allow the user "cn=manager,ou=lights out devices,o=corp" to login to iLO using just "manager." Active Directory allows an additional search context format, "@hostname" for example, "@directory.corp."
