Table 6-24 Current LDAP Parameters Page Description

Field	Description
Directory Authentication	Choosing enable or disable, activates or deactivates directory support on iLO 2 MP:

•Enable with Extended Schema: selects directory authentication and authorization using directory objects created with HP schema. Select this option if the directory server has been extended with the HP schema.

•Enable with Default Schema: selects directory authentication and authorization using user accounts in the directory which has not been extended with the HP schema. User accounts and group memberships are used to authenticate and authorize users. Data in the Group Administration page must be configured after this option is selected.

IMPORTANT: If you are connected through a network and you make any changes to DHCP status, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway IP address, the iLO 2 MP automatically resets once you confirm the change. The automatic reset occurs only after a warning displays before you commit the changes. If you enter -nc, no warning displays and the iLO 2 MP reboots.

If you are connected through a serial console and you make any changes to DHCP status, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway IP address, the iLO 2 MP alerts you to manually reset the iLO 2 MP. A warning about dropped network connections is sent prior to committing the change. The warning does not display if you enter -nc.

If a firmware upgrade is in progress, the commitment phase to the LC command fails and indicates that an upgrade or reset is in progress and changes to the LC parameters are not made.
