NOTE: You may be able to create user names and passwords that include other characters. However, to ensure
compatibility with all interfaces, Dell recommends using only the characters listed here.
NOTE: The characters allowed in user names and passwords for network shares are determined by the network-share type.
iDRAC supports valid characters for network share credentials as defined by the share type, except <, >, and , (comma).
NOTE: To improve security, it is recommended to use complex passwords that have eight or more characters and include
lowercase alphabets, uppercase alphabets, numbers, and special characters. It is also recommended to regularly change the
passwords, if possible.
