Adding An Idrac6 User - Dell IDRAC6 User Manual

NOTE:
You can also type racadm getconfig -f <myfile.cfg> and view
or edit the myfile.cfg file, which includes all iDRAC6 configuration parameters.
Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values.
Two objects of interest are:
# cfgUserAdminIndex=XX
cfgUserAdminUserName=
If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number,
which is indicated by the cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use. If a
name is displayed after the "=", that index is taken by that user name.
NOTE:
When you manually enable or disable a user with the racadm config
subcommand, you
cfgUserAdminIndex object displayed in the previous example contains a '#'
character. Also, if you use the racadm config -f racadm.cfg command to specify any
number of groups/objects to write, the index cannot be specified. A new user is
added to the first available index. This behavior allows more flexibility in configuring
multiple iDRAC6 with the same settings.

Adding an iDRAC6 User

To add a new user to the RAC configuration, a few basic commands can be

1 Set the user name.
2 Set the password.
3 Set the following user privileges:
• iDRAC
• LAN
• Serial Port
• Serial Over LAN
4 Enable the user.
Example
The following example describes how to add a new user named "John" with a
"123456" password and LOGIN privileges to the RAC.
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName
-i 2 john
