Usernames And Passwords; Server Boot-Option Support - Sun Microsystems Fire V20z Management Manual

Usernames and Passwords

Operator and administrator-level access over the LAN channel requires a valid
user ID and password. These servers are not pre-configured with user accounts
enabled. When you initially enable the LAN channel through the command
ipmi enable channel, you are required to provide the password for the null
user. See "IPMI Compliance and LAN Channel Access" on page
Note – For security reasons, the LAN channel access is disabled by default.
Note – IPMI user identities are in no way associated with user accounts defined for
server-management capabilities. Refer to
more information about these server-management user accounts.
