##

Before Your Initial Login

Prior to performing the procedures in this chapter, you should ensure that the following requirements are met.

- Plan how you want to set up ILOM on your server to work in your data center environment. Refer to the section for establishing communication with ILOM in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.

- Connect to ILOM over a serial port without a network connection, or log in to ILOM over a network. To log in using a direct serial connection, attach a serial cable to the workstation, terminal, or terminal emulator and to the SER MGT port on the server, or if you are using a modular chassis system, to the chassis monitoring module (CMM) port. To log in using a network connection, attach an Ethernet cable to the NET MGT port on the server or CMM. Refer to your platform documentation for more information.

- Configure the network settings. You can use either DHCP or a static network connection. By default, ILOM will attempt to obtain network settings using DHCP. Refer to the section for connecting to ILOM in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Getting Started Guide.

- You must have establised initial communication with the ILOM SP (CMM or server).

- You must have created a user account in ILOM.

### Log In to ILOM Using the `root` User Account

To log in to the ILOM web interface for the first time using the `root` user account, open a web browser and do the following:

1. Type `http://`system_ipaddress into the web browser.

If ILOM is operating in a dual-stack network environment, the system_ipaddress can be entered using either an IPv4 or IPv6 address format.

For example:

`http://``10.8.183.106`

or

`http://[``fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:5eca:5f7e/64]`

For more information about entering IP addresses in a dual-stack environment, see Network Addresses Accepted by ILOM. For help with diagnosing IPv4 and IPv6 connection issues, see Diagnosing IPv4 or IPv6 ILOM Connection Issues.

The web interface Login page appears.

2. Type the user name and password for the `root` user account:

User Name: `root`

Password: `changeme`

3. Click Log In.

The Version page in the web interface appears.

### Set Up a User Account

Once you are logged in to ILOM, you need to create a regular (non-`root`) user account. You will use this regular user account to configure ILOM settings for your system and environment.

Follow this step to set up a user account:

Set up a user account in one of these five classes of users:

- Local users

- Active Directory users

- LDAP users

- LDAP/SSL users

- RADIUS users

You can create and configure with advanced roles up to 10 local user accounts or configure a directory service.

For information about setting up a user account, see Add User Accounts and Assign Roles.

### Log In to ILOM as a User

Use this procedure to log in to ILOM to verify that the user account or directory service is functioning properly.

Follow these steps to log in to ILOM using a non-`root` user account:

1. In the web browser, type `http://`system_ipaddress

The web interface Login page appears.

2. Type the user name and password of a user account that you previously configured.

3. Click Log In.

The ILOM web interface appears, displaying the Version page.
