IPMITool Commands Not Working When Using Encryption Key

I'm able to remotely communicate with a server's BMC with the following command when the default "all zeros" are entered into the Encryption Key configuration.

sudo ipmitool -I lanplus -H -U chassis power status

Yet I get the following error when I use an encryption/kg key symetric pair:

sudo ipmitool -I lanplus -H -U -k -vv chassis power status

[...]<

<< Message tag : 0x00
<< RMCP+ status : no errors

<< Key exchange auth code [sha1] : 0xfb46be9ddfb39ac778608f79

Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session

No Response from Get PICMG Properties
No PICMG Extenstion discovered
Interface address: my_addr 0x20 transit 0:0 target 0x20:0 ipmb_target 0

Unable to get Chassis Power Status

Using the Dell Troubleshooting Tool, I get "Connection Passed" when the encryption/KG Key is typed in.

Any suggestions as what I can try next?

Just looking at this now...

iDRAC uses hexidemial keys.  So we expect to use -x option for ipmitool to work wtih keys.

Something like:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.1.1.1 -U root -P yourPasswd -x 00AADD0000000000000000000000000000000000 chassis power status

Thanks,

Rob
