Users Guide

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.
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: 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.
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>""
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2 -o
cfgUserAdminPrivilege 0x0
A null string of double quote characters ("") instructs CMC to remove the user configuration at the specified index and reset the
user configuration to the original factory defaults.
Enabling CMC User With Permissions
To enable a user with specific 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>
