iLO 5 Gen10 security states

When you add a Gen10 node to SUM, communication between the iLO and host operating system occurs over the CHIF interface. Depending on the iLO security state, the communication operates in the following modes:

Production state: iLO credentials are not required for localhost access.
Secure mode: In secure mode (High security, CNSA SuiteB, and FIPS), communication between the iLO and host operating system is encrypted, authorized, and authenticated.

Provide iLO administrator credentials for SUM to perform scouting, inventory, or deployment updates to an iLO in secure mode.

NOTE:

iLO credentials are required in addition to host OS credentials when the iLO for a server is configured in one of the high security modes or if Require Host Authentication is enabled.
