Users Guide

The following example describes how to add a new user named "John" with a "123456" password and login privileges to the CMC.
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName
-i 2
john
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword
-i 2
123456
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2 -o
cfgUserAdminPrivilege
0x00000001
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2 -o
cfgUserAdminEnable 1
NOTE: For a list of valid bit mask values for specic user privileges, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge
VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide . The default privilege value is 0, which indicates that the privileges of a user are
not enabled.
To verify that the user was successfully added with the correct privileges, run the following command:
racadm getconfig –g cfgUserAdmin –i 2

Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
Disabling CMC User
When using RACADM, users must be disabled manually on an individual-basis. Users cannot be deleted using a conguration le.
To delete a CMC user, the command syntax is:
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName
-i <index>""
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2 -o
cfgUserAdminPrivilege 0x0
A null string of double quotation marks ("") instructs CMC to remove the user conguration at the specied index, and then reset the user
conguration to the factory default values.
Enabling CMC User With Permissions
To enable a user with specic administrative permissions (role-based authority):
1 Locate an available user index using the command syntax:
racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <index>
2 Type the following commands with the new user name and password.
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o
cfgUserAdminPrivilege -i <index> <user privilege bitmask value>
NOTE
: For a list of valid bit mask values for specic user privileges, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge
VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals. The default privilege value is 0,
which indicates the user does not has any privileges enabled.
Conguring Active Directory Users
If your company uses the Microsoft Active Directory software, you can congure the software to provide access to CMC, allowing you to
add and control CMC user privileges to your existing users in your directory service. This is a licensed feature.
