Support for Using TLS Encryption with IPMI Over an Ethernet Network Connection

In previous versions of Oracle Hardware Management Pack prior to release 2.4.0.0, network IPMI encryption was handled using the LANPLUS interface. Support has been added to use IPMI with TLS using the custom ORCLTLS interface if it is supported by the target Oracle ILOM service processor (SP). To use IPMI over TLS, the target Oracle ILOM must be version 3.2.8.1 or later. You can verify support by logging into the target Oracle ILOM using the web interface and checking the TLS Sessions setting under Administration > Management Access > IPMI.

If IPMI over TLS support is not available in the target Oracle ILOM SP, the connection will fall back to the LANPLUS interface (if enabled).
