HP Integrity iLO 2 MP 5991-6005 manual Installing and Initializing Snap-Ins for Active Directory

The Active Directory schema folder may need to be expanded for the checkbox to be available.

4.Create a certificate or install Certificate Services. This step is necessary because the iLO 2 MP uses SSL to communicate with Active Directory.

5.To specify that a certificate be issued to the server running Active Directory, do the following:

a.Launch MMC on the server and add the default domain policy snap-in (Group policy and browse to default domain policy object).

b.Click Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Public Key Policies.

c.Right-clickAutomatic Certificate Requests Settings, and select New>Automatic Certificate Request.

d.Using the wizard, select the domain controller template and the certificate authority you want to use.

6.Download the Smart Component that contains the installers for the schema extender and the snap-ins. You can download the Smart Component from the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out

7.Run the schema installer application to extend the schema, which extends the directory schema with the proper HP objects.

The schema installer associates the Active Directory snap-ins with the new schema. The snap-in installation setup utility is a Windows MSI setup script and runs anywhere MSI is supported (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98). However, some parts of the schema extension application require the .NET Framework, which you can download from the Microsoft website at:

Installing and Initializing Snap-Ins for Active Directory

Follow these steps to install the snap-ins and configure the directory service:

1.To install the snap-ins, run the snap-in installation application.

2.Configure the directory service with the appropriate objects and relationships for the iLO

2 MP management:

a.Use the management snap-ins from HP to create the iLO 2 MP, policy, admin, and user role objects.

b.Use the management snap-ins from HP to build associations between the iLO 2 MP object, the policy object, and the role object.

c.Point the iLO 2 MP object to the admin and user role objects (admin and user roles automatically point back to the iLO 2 MP object).

For more information about iLO 2 MP objects, see “Directory Services Objects” (page 158).

At a minimum, create:

•One role object that contains one or more users and one or more iLO 2 MP objects.

•One iLO 2 MP object corresponding to each iLO 2 MP using the directory.
