FOREWORD
The Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS) provides a
third-party evaluation service for determining the trustworthiness of Information Technology
(IT) security products. Evaluations are performed by a commercial Common Criteria
Evaluation Facility (CCEF) under the oversight of the CCS Certification Body, which is
managed by the Communications Security Establishment.
A CCEF is a commercial facility that has been approved by the CCS Certification Body to
perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such approval is
accreditation to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005, the General Requirements for the
Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. Accreditation is performed under the
Program for the Accreditation of Laboratories - Canada (PALCAN), administered by the
Standards Council of Canada.
The CCEF that carried out this evaluation is CGI IT Security Evaluation & Test Facility.
By awarding a Common Criteria certificate, the CCS Certification Body asserts that the
product complies with the security requirements specified in the associated security target. A
security target is a requirements specification document that defines the scope of the
evaluation activities. The consumer of certified IT products should review the security target,
in addition to this certification report, in order to gain an understanding of any assumptions
made during the evaluation, the IT product's intended environment, the evaluated security
functionality, and the testing and analysis conducted by the CCEF.
This certification report is associated with the certificate of product evaluation dated 08
March 2016, and the security target identified in Section 4 of this report.
The certification report, certificate of product evaluation and security target are posted on the
CCS Certified Products list (CPL) and the Common Criteria portal (the official website of the
Common Criteria Project).
Reproduction of this report is authorized provided the report is reproduced in its entirety.

9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of HP Integrated Lights-
Out 4 v2.11, including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11 functional
specification and design documentation; they determined that the design completely and
accurately describes the TOE security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and
how the TSF implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators
analyzed the HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11 security architectural description and
determined that the initialization process is secure, that the security functions are protected
against tamper and bypass, and that security domains are maintained. The evaluators also
independently verified that the correspondence mappings between the design documents are
correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11
preparative user guidance and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently
and unambiguously describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated
configuration and how to use and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested
the preparative and operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and
sufficiently detailed to result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11 configuration
management system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that
the HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11 configuration items were clearly marked.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11 during
distribution to the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the HP
Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence
generated by adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are
adequate to track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and
corrections to consumers of the product.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.

10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR1
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.
10.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. iLO Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Authentication and Authorization:
The objective of this test goal is to verify that LDAP authentication and authorization is
enforced on the TOE;
c. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)
Access: The objective of this test goal is to verify that authentication is required to access
the UEFI and RBSU interfaces;
d. Command Line Interface (CLI) Authentication Delay: The objective of this test goal is to
confirm that the TOE will enforce a login delay between failed CLI login attempts;
e. User Authorization: The objective of this test goal is to verify that degraded user’s
privileges are enforced correctly for a logged in user; and
f. Takeover .NET IRC session: The objective of this test goal is to take over an existing
.NET IRC session and ensure that privileges are not escalated.
10.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
1
The ETR is a CCS document that contains information proprietary to the developer and/or the evaluator, and
is not releasable for public review.

a. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and
application layer vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, Shellshock, POODLE, GHOST, and
FREAK; and
b. iLO Federation Using Secure Communication: The objective of this test goal is to
attempt a man in the middle attack between distributed TOEs.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
10.4 Conduct of Testing
HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally
documented, independent functional and penetration tests. The detailed testing activities,
including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are
documented in a separate Test Results document.
10.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
providing assurance that HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 v2.11 behaves as specified in its ST and
functional specification.
11 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for a EAL 2+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
