iLO hostname and domain name requirements for Kerberos authentication
Domain Name—The iLO domain name value must match the Kerberos realm name, which is typically
the domain name converted to uppercase letters. For example, if the parent domain name is
somedomain.net, the Kerberos realm name is SOMEDOMAIN.NET.
iLO Subsystem Name (Hostname)—The configured iLO hostname must be identical to the iLO
hostname that you use when you generate the keytab file. The iLO hostname is case-sensitive.

Preparing the domain controller for Kerberos support

In a Windows Server environment, Kerberos support is part of the domain controller, and the Kerberos
realm name is usually the domain name converted to uppercase letters.
Procedure
1. Create and enable computer accounts in the domain directory for each iLO system.
Create the user account in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. For example:
iLO hostname: myilo
Parent domain name: somedomain.net
iLO domain name (fully qualified): myilo.somedomain.net
2. Ensure that a user account exists in the domain directory for each user who is allowed to log in to iLO.
3. Create universal and global user groups in the domain directory.
To set permissions in iLO, you must create a security group in the domain directory. Users who log in
to iLO are granted the sum of the permissions for all groups of which they are a member. Only
universal and global user groups can be used to set permissions. Domain local groups are not
supported.
