Dell PowerEdge M1000e Chassis Management Controller Firmware Version 5.1 User’s Guide

You can setup user accounts with specific privileges ( role-based authority ) to manage your system with CMC and maintain system security. By default CMC is configured with a local administrator account. This default user name is root and the password is calvin. As an administrator, you can setup user accounts to allow other users to access CMC.

You can setup up to 16 local users or use directory services such as Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP to setup additional user accounts. Using a directory service provides a central location for managing authorized user accounts.

CMC supports role-based access to users with a set of associated privileges. The roles are administrator, operator, read only, or none. The role defines the maximum privileges available.
