Users Guide

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.
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 specic 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 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
