Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 91
Using RACADM to Configure Users
You can configure up to 16 users in the CMC property database. Before you
manually enable a CMC user, verify if any current users exist. If you are
configuring a new CMC or you ran the RACADM racresetcfg command,
the only current user is root with the password calvin. The
racresetcfg subcommand resets the CMC back to the original defaults.
CAUTION: Use caution when using the racresetcfg command, because it
resets all configuration parameters to the original defaults. Any previous changes
are lost.
NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time, and disabling a user does not
delete the user from the database.
To verify if a user exists, open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in,
and type the following command once for each index of 1–16:
racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <index>
Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values.
Two objects of interest are:
# cfgUserAdminIndex=XX
cfgUserAdminUserName=
If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number,
which is indicated by the cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use.
If a name appears after the "=," that index is taken by that user name.
NOTE: When you manually enable or disable a user with the RACADM config
subcommand, you must specify the index with the -i option. Observe that the
cfgUserAdminIndex object displayed in the previous example contains a #
character. Also, if you use the racadm config -f racadm.cfg command to
specify any number of groups/objects to write, the index cannot be specified.
A new user is added to the first
available index. This behavior allows more flexibility
in configuring a second CMC with the same settings as the main CMC.
