Conguring Local Users Using CMC Web Interface
To add and congure local CMC users:
NOTE: You must have Congure Users permission to create a CMC user.
1. In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview, and then click User Authentication → Local Users.
The Users page is displayed.
2. In the User ID column, click a user ID number.
NOTE: User ID 1 is the root user account that is shipped by default with CMC. This cannot be changed.
The User Conguration page is displayed.
3. Enable the user ID and specify the user name, password, and access privileges for the user.
For more information about the options, see the CMC Online Help.
4. Click Apply.
The user is created with the required privileges.
Conguring Local Users Using RACADM
NOTE: You must be logged in as user root to execute RACADM commands on a remote Linux system.
You can congure 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 conguring a new CMC or if you have used the racadm racresetcfg command, the only current user is root with the
password
calvin. The racresetcfg subcommand resets all conguration 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>
NOTE: You can also type racadm getconfig -f <myfile.cfg> and view or edit the myle.cfg le, which includes
all CMC conguration parameters.
Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values. Two objects of importance 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 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 specied. A new user is added to
the rst available index. This behavior allows more exibility in conguring a second CMC with the same settings as the main CMC.
Adding CMC User Using RACADM
To add a new user to the CMC conguration, 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.
