changed using any of the iDRAC secured interfaces (that is, web interface, RACADM or WSMan). You can also enable or disable SNMPv3
authentication for each user.
Configuring local users using iDRAC web interface
To add and configure local iDRAC users:
NOTE: You must have Configure Users permission to create an iDRAC user.
1. In the iDRAC Web interface, go to iDRAC Settings > User.
The Local Users page is displayed.
2. In the User ID column, select a user ID number and click Edit.
NOTE: User 1 is reserved for the IPMI anonymous user and you cannot change this configuration.
The User Configuration page is displayed.
3. Add User Account Settings and Advanced Settings details to configure the user account.
NOTE: Enable the user ID and specify the user name, password, and user role (access privileges) for the user. You
can also enable LAN privilege level, Serial port privilege level, serial over LAN status, SNMPv3 authentication,
authentication type and the privacy type for the user. For more information about the options, see the
iDRAC Online
Help
.
4. Click Save. The user is created with the required privileges.
Configuring 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 single or multiple iDRAC users using RACADM.
To configure multiple iDRAC users with identical configuration settings, follow these procedures:
• Use the RACADM examples in this section as a guide to create a batch file of RACADM commands and then execute the batch file on
each managed system.
• Create the iDRAC configuration file and execute the racadm set command on each managed system using the same configuration
file.
If you are configuring a new iDRAC or if you have used the racadm racresetcfg command, then check for the default iDRAC user
name and password on the system badge. The racadm racresetcfg command resets the iDRAC to the default values.
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 utilize
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 iDRAC RACADM CLI Guide available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
If you use the Server Configuration Profile file to configure users, use the AuthenticationProtocol, ProtocolEnable, and
PrivacyProtocol attributes to enable SNMPv3 authentication.
