iDRAC 6 access & ipmitool

Hi all,

I would like to setup iDrac on one of my servers (R410) via ipmitool because I've only a ssh connexion on this server.

I've created a new user (myuser) with password:

$ ipmitool user list 1
ID  Name             Enabled Callin  Link Auth  IPMI Msg   Channel Priv Limit
2   root             true    true    true       true       ADMINISTRATOR
3   myuser           false   true    false      false      ADMINISTRATOR

But impossible to enable this new user. First weird problem even if I use this command:

$ ipmitool user enable

$ ipmitool user list 1
ID  Name             Enabled Callin  Link Auth  IPMI Msg   Channel Priv Limit
2   root             true    true    true       true       ADMINISTRATOR
3   myuser           false   true    false      false      ADMINISTRATOR

Second, when I try to connect on iDRAC web page, I've always this error after filled login/password:

Login Error
Credentials Failed, Please Try Again.
I don't how to correct this to access to iDRAC via web interface.
Is it possible ? And setup with ipmitool command ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

OK, on my linux server, I've installed idracadm package downloaded from Dell's site but when I try to retrieve information, I've this error:

$ sudo idracadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking

ERROR: Failed to get object value.

===============================================================================

IMPORTANT NOTE!

The RAC is unable to communicate with the BMC. This condition may

occur because of (1) no BMC is present, (2) missing or disfunctional

IPMI-related software components. Many RAC features depend on BMC

connectivity in order to work properly, and you may see failures

as a result.

===============================================================================

How to enable get object value in racadm please ?

Thank you.
