Dell PowerEdge VRTX User Manual page 102

To verify if a user exists, open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in, and then 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 the 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.
The "#" character in the command objects 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:
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.
NOTE: For a list of valid bit mask values for specific user privileges, see the
PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide . The default privilege value is 0, which indicates that
the privileges of a user are not enabled.
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName
-i 2
john
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword
-i 2
123456
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2 -o
cfgUserAdminPrivilege
0x00000001
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2 -o
cfgUserAdminEnable 1
To verify that the user was successfully added with the correct privileges, run the following command:
racadm getconfig –g cfgUserAdmin –i 2
