Setting Up Security
For greater security and reliability, HP recommends that iLO MP management traffic be on a separate
dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access to that network. This not
only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main network, it also acts as the first line of
defense against security attacks. A separate network enables administrators to physically control which
workstations are connected to the network.
HP also strongly recommends that you modify the default settings during the initial login session and
determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. Create local
accounts or use directory services to control user access. See "Modifying User Accounts and Default
Password" on page 83.
Security Access Settings
CAUTION When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because anyone can access
the iLO MP until you change the default user name and password.
HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding.
Determine the security access required and user accounts and privileges needed. The iLO MP provides
options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent unauthorized access to the iLO
MP:
• Change the default user name and password. See "Modifying User Accounts and Default Password" on
page 83.
• Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO MP access. This is
ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized businesses.
• Use directory services. Use the corporate directory to manage iLO MP user access. This is ideal for
environments with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to use directory services, HP
recommends leaving at least one local account enabled as an alternate method of access.
