User's Manual

78 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface

To verify if a user exists, open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in,

and type:

racadm getconfig -u <

username

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

> to 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 interest 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 appears after the "=," that index is taken by that user name.

NOTE: 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. 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 a CMC User

To add a new user to the CMC configuration, you can use a few basic

commands. Perform the following procedures:

Set the user name.

Set the password.

Set the user privileges. For information about user privileges, see Table 5-9

and Table 5-10.

Enable the user.
