Calculating Current Privileges - HP AB500A - Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Technology Brief

Calculating current privileges

A user's privileges can change at any time, even while the user is logged in. For example:
• An administrator could change a user's rights while that user is logged into the iLO device and the
browser session is open.
• A user might be authenticated with directory services but authorized to access the system only
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
• XML scripts could alter privileges, administrators could delete a user account, directory settings
could change, and time or address-based restrictions could apply.
Therefore, every time a user makes a request, iLO re-evaluates the user's privileges (see the flowchart
in Figure 8). If the evaluation is successful, the user's request proceeds. If the evaluation is
unsuccessful, the user's request is blocked or the user is logged out.
