Configure Local Users Using Racadm - Dell PS-M4110 User Manual

Configure Local Users Using RACADM

NOTE: You must be logged in as user root to execute RACADM commands on a remote Linux system.
You can configure up to 16 users in the CMC property database. Before you manually enable a CMC user, verify if any
current users exist.
If you are configuring a new CMC or if you have used the racadm racresetcfg command, the only current user is
root with the password calvin. The racresetcfg subcommand resets all configuration parameters to the
original defaults. Any previous changes are lost.
NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time, and disabling a user does not delete the user from the
database.
To verify if a user exists, open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in, and type the following command once for
each index of 1–16:
racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <index>
NOTE: You can also type racadm getconfig -f <myfile.cfg> and view or edit the myfile.cfg file, which
includes all CMC configuration parameters.
Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values. Two objects of importance 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.
When you manually enable or disable a user with the racadm config subcommand, you must specify the index with
the -i option.
Observe that the cfgUserAdminIndex object displayed in the previous example contains a '#' character. It indicates
that it is a read-only object. 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 a second CMC with the same settings as the main CMC.
Adding CMC User Using RACADM
To add a new user to the CMC configuration, perform the following:
1. Set the user name.
2. Set the password.
3. Set the user privileges. For information about user privileges, see
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 CMC.
