Configuring Active Directory Users - Dell iDRAC 8 User Manual

NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time. As a result, a user may have a different index number on each
iDRAC.
To verify if a user exists, type the following command once for each index (1–16):
racadm get iDRAC.Users.<index>.UserName
Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values. The key field is iDRAC.Users.UserName=. If a user
name is displayed after =, that index number is taken.
NOTE: You can also use racadm get -f <myfile.cfg> and view or edit the myfile.cfg file, which includes all iDRAC
configuration parameters.
To enable SNMP v3 authentication for a user, use SNMPv3AuthenticationType, SNMPv3Enable, SNMPv3PrivacyType objects.
For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Interface Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.
If you use the configuration XML file, use the AuthenticationProtocol, ProtocolEnable, and PrivacyProtocol attributes to enable
SNMPv3 authentication.

racadm get iDRAC.Users <index>
2. Type the following commands with the new user name and password.
racadm set iDRAC.Users.<index>.Privilege <user privilege bit mask value>

Configuring Active Directory users

If your company uses the Microsoft Active Directory software, you can configure the software to provide access to iDRAC, allowing
you to add and control iDRAC user privileges to your existing users in your directory service. This is a licensed feature.
