Enabling or disabling administrative accounts on iDRAC

Before you set up auto discovery, disable all administrative accounts other than root. The root account should be disabled during the auto discovery procedure. Once you have successfully set up auto discovery, return to iDRAC GUI and re-enable the administrative accounts that were turned off, other than root.

About this task

NOTE: To guard against a failed auto discovery, you can enable a nonadmin account on iDRAC. The nonadmin account allows remote access when auto discovery fails.

Steps

  1. In a browser, type the iDRAC IP address.
  2. Log in to the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller GUI.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • For iDRAC6: In the left pane, select the iDRAC Settings > Network/Security > Users tab.
    • For iDRAC7: In the left pane, select the iDRAC Settings > User Authentication > Users tab.
    • For iDRAC8: In the left pane, select the iDRAC Settings > User Authentication > Users tab.
  4. In the Users tab, locate any administrative accounts other than root.
  5. To disable the account, under User ID, select the ID.
  6. Click Next.
  7. In the User Configuration page, under General, clear the Enable User check box.
  8. Click Apply.
  9. To re-enable each administrative account, repeat steps 1 through 8 after you have successfully set up auto discovery, but select the Enable User check box now, and click Apply.
