New OME-User after Discovery on iDRAC-Board
Hello together, I am asking for a friend...
After we have discovered a new server with OME 4.1.0, a new user (OME_29fbxxxxx) with the Administrator user role appears on the iDRAC board under the local users. So far we have no idea how this is generated and why. We have only been using this latest OME version for a short time and have this issue in the production environment. We do not have this in the test environment with version 4.1.0. We therefore assume that it is related to the settings on the appliance.
No additional plugins are installed.
Edit: Normal Discovery Job - no Server initiated Discovery.
Thank you and best regards

Hello,
As far as I understand, what you’re noticing is actually a built-in feature of Dell’s OpenManage Enterprise (OME) 4.1.0. Whenever OME discovers a new server, it automatically generates a new user on the iDRAC board. This user is then utilized by OME for iDRAC management.
This functionality is a component of the iDRAC password management and rotation feature that was introduced in OME 4.01. When activated, this feature establishes a service account on your iDRAC and can support up to 16 distinct local accounts.
If this behavior is present in your production environment but absent in your test environment, it might be attributed to configuration setting disparities between the two environments. It’s important to note that once this feature is activated, it cannot be deactivated.
If you wish to control this feature, you can do so in the iDRAC management preferences in OME. In this section, you have the option to activate password rotation and set a rotation schedule.

Hope that helps!
