Scalability-The directory can be leveraged to support thousands of users on
thousands of iLOs.
Security-Robust user password policies are inherited from the directory.
User password complexity, rotation frequency, and expiration are policy
examples.
Anonymity (lack thereof)-In some environments, users share Lights-Out
accounts, which results in the lack of knowing who performed an operation,
instead of knowing what account (or role) was used.
Role-based administration-You can create roles (for instance, clerical,
remote control of the host, complete control) and associate users or user
groups with those roles. A change at a single role applies to all users and
Lights-Out devices associated with that role.
