  2. Set the password.
  3. Set the following user privileges:
    • iDRAC
    • LAN

  4. Enable the user.
Example:

The following example describes how to add a new user named "John" with a "123456" password and LOGIN privileges to the RAC.

racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName -i 3 john
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 3 123456
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3 -o cfgUserAdminPrivilege 0x00000001
