Configuring local users using RACADM

NOTE: You must be logged in as user root to execute RACADM commands on a remote Linux system.

You can configure single or multiple iDRAC users using RACADM.

To configure multiple iDRAC users with identical configuration settings, follow these procedures:
  • Use the RACADM examples in this section as a guide to create a batch file of RACADM commands and then execute the batch file on each managed system.
  • Create the iDRAC configuration file and execute the racadm set command on each managed system using the same configuration file.

If you are configuring a new iDRAC or if you have used the racadm racresetcfg command, the only current user is root with the password calvin. The racadm racresetcfg command resets the iDRAC to the default values.

NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time. As a result, a user may have a different index number on each iDRAC.
To verify if a user exists, type the following command once for each index (1–16):
racadm get iDRAC.Users.<index>.UserName

Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values. The key field is iDRAC.Users.UserName=. If a user name is displayed after =, that index number is taken.

NOTE: You can also use racadm get -f <myfile.cfg> and view or edit the myfile.cfg file, which includes all iDRAC configuration parameters.

To enable SNMP v3 authentication for a user, use SNMPv3AuthenticationType, SNMPv3Enable, SNMPv3PrivacyType objects. For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Interface Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.

If you use the configuration XML file, use the AuthenticationProtocol, ProtocolEnable, and PrivacyProtocol attributes to enable SNMPv3 authentication.
