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, then check for the default iDRAC user name and password on the system badge. 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 utilize 
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 iDRAC RACADM CLI Guide available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.

If you use the Server Configuration Profile file to configure users, use the AuthenticationProtocol, ProtocolEnable, and PrivacyProtocol attributes to enable SNMPv3 authentication.
