Encryption

iLO provides strong security for remote management in distributed IT
environments by using 128-bit SSL encryption of HTTP data transmitted across
the network. SSL encryption ensures that the HTTP information is secure as it
travels across the network.
Remote Console data is protected using 128-bit RC4 bidirectional encryption.

locked out.

All security authorization checks are disabled while the switch is set.
iLO RBSU runs if the host server is reset.
