Logging In to the iBMC WebUI

Logging In to the iBMC WebUI

Scenario

Log in to the iBMC WebUI. The following uses Internet Explorer 11.0 as an example.

  • A maximum of four users can log in to the iBMC WebUI at the same time.
  • By default, the system timeout period is 5 minutes. If no operation is performed on the WebUI within 5 minutes, the user will be automatically logged out of the WebUI.
  • The system locks a user account if the number of consecutive incorrect password attempts reaches the maximum. The user account is automatically unlocked after the locking duration reaches the value specified.
  • For security purposes, change the initial password upon the first login and periodically change the password.
  • If resources fail to be obtained due to unstable network connection, the iBMC WebUI may be displayed abnormally. If this occurs, refresh the browser and log in to the iBMC WebUI again.
    • If TLS version is set to Only TLS 1.3 on the User & Security > Security Management page, the following browser versions are not supported:
      • All Internet Explorer versions
      • All Safari versions
      • Microsoft Edge 12 to 18
      • Mozilla Firefox 45.0 to 62.0
      • Google Chrome 55.0 to 69.0
    • Before using Internet Explorer to log in to the iBMC WebUI, enable the compatibility view and select "Use TLS 1.2".
      • Enable the compatibility view as follows:
        1. Click in the upper right corner of the browser.
        2. On the shortcut menu displayed, click Compatibility View Settings.
        3. In the Compatibility View Settings dialog box displayed, enter the iBMC IP address in the Add this website text box and click Add.
        4. Deselect Use Microsoft compatibility lists.

          After the iBMC IP address is added to the compatibility view, improper display on the iBMC WebUI will be rectified.

      • Select "Use TLS 1.2" as follows:
        1. Choose Internet Options > Advanced.
        2. In the Security area, select Use TLS 1.2.

  2. Configure an IP address for the local PC to enable communication with the iBMC management network port.
  3. Connect the local PC to the iBMC using any of the following methods:

    • Connect the local PC to the iBMC management network port using a network cable.
    • Connect the local PC to the iBMC management network port over a LAN.
    • Connect the local PC to the iBMC direct connect management port using a USB Type-C cable.
      • Only servers configured with the iBMC direct management port support this operation.
      • If you use a USB Type-C cable to connect the local PC to the iBMC direct connect management port, the local PC can run only Windows 10.

  4. Choose Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections, and check whether the local PC is connected to the iBMC network.

    • If the local PC is connected to the iBMC using a USB Type-C cable, the iBMC network name is Remote NDS Compatible Device.
    • If the local PC is connected to the iBMC using a network cable or over a LAN, the iBMC network name varies depending on the NIC used on the local PC.
    • If yes, go to 5.
    • If no, contact technical support.

  5. Open Internet Explorer, enter https://iBMC management network port IP address in the address box, and press Enter.

    • If the local PC is connected to the iBMC direct connect management port using a USB Type-C cable, the IP address of the iBMC management network port is 169.254.1.5.
    • If the local PC is connected to the iBMC management network port using a network cable or over a LAN, the default IP address of the iBMC management network port is 192.168.2.100.
    • Enter the IP address of the iBMC management network port based on actual situation:
      • If an IPv6 address is used, use [] to enclose the IPv6 address, for example, [fc00::64].
      • If an IPv4 address is used, enter the IPv4 address, for example, 192.168.100.1.

    A security alert dialog box is displayed.

    Figure 7-1 Security alert

    • If a security alert is displayed, you can ignore this message or perform any of the following to shield this alert:

    • To log in to the iBMC WebUI as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user, perform the following steps:
      Before login, ensure that the following settings meet the requirements:
      • A domain controller exists on the network, and a user domain and LDAP users have been created on the domain controller.
      • On the iBMC WebUI, the LDAP function has been enabled, and a user domain and LDAP user name and password have been set.

      For details about how to create a domain controller, a user domain, and LDAP users, see domain controller documents. The iBMC provides only the access function for LDAP users.

      1. Select the language to be used.
      2. Enter the LDAP user name and password.
        • The LDAP user name can be in either of the following formats:
          • LDAP user name (in this case, Domain can be Automatic matching or a specified domain)
          • LDAP user name@Domain name (in this case, Domain can be Automatic matching or a specified domain)
        • The password cannot exceed 255 characters.
      3. Select the LDAP user domain from the Domain drop-down list.
        • This iBMC: Select this option to log in as a local user. The iBMC automatically locates the user from the local user list.
