6.10.16

Data Center Management Interface (DCMI)

The DCMI Specification is an emerging standard that is targeted to provide a simplified
management interface for Internet Portal Data Center (IPDC) customers. It is expected to
become a requirement for server platforms which are targeted for IPDCs. DCMI is an IPMI-
based standard that builds upon a set of required IPMI standard commands by adding a set of
®
DCMI-specific IPMI OEM commands. Intel S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server Platforms will
be implementing the mandatory DCMI features in the BMC firmware (DCMI 1.1 Errata 1
compliance). Please refer to DCMI 1.1 errata 1 spec for details. Only mandatory commands will
be supported. No support for optional DCMI commands. Optional power management and SEL
roll over feature is not supported. DCMI Asset tag will be independent of baseboard FRU asset
Tag. Please refer table DCMI Group Extension Commands for more details on DCMI
commands.

Lightweight Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol supported by the
BMC for the purpose of authentication and authorization. The BMC user connects with an LDAP
server for login authentication. This is only supported for non-IPMI logins including the
embedded web UI and SM-CLP. IPMI users/passwords and sessions are not supported over
LDAP.
LDAP can be configured (IP address of LDAP server, port, and do on) from the BMC's
Embedded Web UI. LDAP authentication and authorization is supported over the any NIC
configured for system management. The BMC uses a standard Open LDAP implementation for
Linux.
Only open LDAP is supported by BMC. Windows and Novel LDAP are not supported.
