Generating hash password without SNMPv3 and IPMI authentication

To generate hash password without SNMPv3 and IPMI authentication:
  1. For iDRAC user accounts, you must salt the password using SHA256. When you salt the password, a 16 byte binary string is appended. The Salt is required to be 16 bytes long, if provided.
  2. Provide hash value and salt in the imported server configuration profile, RACADM commands, or WSMAN.
  3. After setting the password, the normal plain text password authentication works except that SNMP v3 and IPMI authentication fails for iDRAC user accounts that had passwords updated with hash.
