Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration Version 3.3 for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager User's Guide

Modifying credentials on Lifecycle Controllers

About this task

On systems with iDRAC, use the following steps to verify and/or modify the WS-MAN credentials configured with the DLCI for Configuration Manager:
NOTE Dell recommends that you modify the credentials on the Lifecycle Controller and the Configuration Manager database simultaneously.

To modify the credentials on Lifecycle Controllers:

Steps

  1. In Configuration Manager Version 1610, Configuration Manager 2012 SP2, Configuration Manager 2012 R2 SP1, Configuration Manager 2012 R2, Configuration Manager 2012 SP1, Configuration Manager 2012, in Device Collections, right-click All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers and select Dell Lifecycle Controller > Launch Config Utility.
  2. From the left pane of the Dell Lifecycle Controller Configuration Utility, select Modify Credentials on Lifecycle Controllers.
  3. Type the current user name and password, and the new user name and password. You can provide user credentials authenticated on active directory.
    NOTE You cannot enter specific special characters in the user name field. For more information on the special characters that you can use in the user name field, see the iDRAC documentation available at Dell.com/support/home.
    • Skip CA check — this option is selected by default, clear this option to secure communication between the Configuration Manager and the target systems. Clearing this option checks that the certificate on the target system is issued by a trusted certificate Authority (CA). Clear this option only if you trust the target systems.
    • Skip CN check — clear this option to enhance security; authenticate system names and prevent impersonation. The common name (CN) need not match the host name of the target system. Clear this option only for trusted target systems.
  4. Click Update.
    A list of iDRACs that are discovered on the network appears along with their communication status.
    To change the user name and password credentials, and to indicate the change, a series of WS-MAN commands are sent to all systems with iDRAC that are in the collection.
  5. After the update is complete, click Export to CSV to export the results in CSV format. Provide the location on your local drive.

    or

    Click Copy to Clipboard to copy the results to the clipboard and save it in plain text format.
