Offer method to the reader to use the ILOM GUI from public network by using proxy setting in browser and putty utility

Solution

Bring up putty and enter the IP address of one the management nodes. Do not use the VIP address.

Add the IP address into the connections screen as shown below

Under tunnels enter 9999 for source port, click dynamic and then the add button.
D9999 should end up in the forwarded ports window.

Then click open.

Open your browser and change the proxy setting as shown in next screenshot

Be aware that you will stop communication to other sites until you change your proxy settings to the original state. You could open a separate browser profile to do this as an alternative.

At this point you can open a browser window and enter the IP address of the ILOM you want to connect to.

For Linux systems:

ssh -D 9999 root@<management node IP>

Then set your browser's proxy setting to SOCKS5, 127.0.0.1 and port 9999, per the above instructions.
