Logging in to the iLO web interface
Procedure
1. Enter https://<iLO host name or IP address>.
When you access the iLO web interface, you must use HTTPS (HTTP exchanged over an SSL
encrypted session).
The iLO login page opens. If a login security banner is configured, the banner text is displayed in
the NOTICE section.
2. Do one of the following:
• On the login page, enter a directory or local user account name and password, and then
click Log In.
• Click the Zero Sign In button.
If iLO is configured for Kerberos network authentication, the Zero Sign In button is
displayed below the Log In button. You can use the Zero Sign In button to log in
without entering a user name and password.

Cookie sharing between browser instances and iLO
When you browse to iLO and log in, one session cookie is shared with all open browser windows
that share the iLO URL in the browser address bar. As a consequence, all open browser windows
share one user session. Logging out in one window ends the user session in all the open
windows. Logging in as a different user in a new window replaces the session in the other
windows.
This behavior is typical of browsers. iLO does not support multiple users logged in from two
different browser windows in the same browser on the same client.
Shared instances
When the iLO web interface opens another browser window or tab (for example, a help file), this
window shares the connection to iLO and the session cookie.
When you are logged into the iLO web interface, and you open a new browser window manually,
a duplicate instance of the original browser window opens. If the domain name in the address
bar matches the original browser session, the new instance shares a session cookie with the
original browser window.
Cookie order
During login, the login page builds a browser session cookie that links the window to the
appropriate session in the iLO firmware. The firmware tracks browser logins as separate sessions
