Users Guide

If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number, which is indicated by the
cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use. If a name is displayed after the "=", that index is taken
by that user name.
When you manually enable or disable a user with the racadm config subcommand, you must specify
the index with the -i option.
The "#" character in the command objects indicates that it is a read only object. Also, if you use the
racadm config -f racadm.cfg command to specify any number of groups or 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.
Adding CMC User Using RACADM
To add a new user to the CMC configuration, perform the following:
1. Set the user name.
2. Set the password.
3. Set the user privileges. For information about user privileges, see Types of Users.
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 CMC.
NOTE: See the Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command
Line Reference Guide for a list of valid bit mask values for specific user privileges. The default
privilege value is 0, which indicates the user has no privileges enabled.
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
To verify that the user was added successfully with the correct privileges, use the following commands:
racadm getconfig –g cfgUserAdmin –i 2
For more information on the RACADM commands, see the Chassis Management Controller for Dell
PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
Disabling CMC User
When using RACADM, users must be disabled manually and on an individual basis. Users cannot be
deleted using a configuration file.
To delete a CMC user, the command syntax is:
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName
-i <index>""
