NOTE: You may be able to create user names and passwords that include other characters. However, to ensure compatibility with
all interfaces, Dell recommends using only the characters listed here.
NOTE: The characters allowed in user names and passwords for network shares are determined by the network-share type.
iDRAC supports valid characters for network share credentials as dened by the share type, except <, >, and , (comma).
NOTE: To improve security, it is recommended to use complex passwords that have eight or more characters and include
lowercase alphabets, uppercase alphabets, numbers, and special characters. It is also recommended to regularly change the
passwords, if possible.
Conguring local users
You can congure up to 16 local users in iDRAC with specic access permissions. Before you create an iDRAC user, verify if any current
users exist. You can set user names, passwords, and roles with the privileges for these users. The user names and passwords can be
changed using any of the iDRAC secured interfaces (that is, web interface, RACADM or WS-MAN). You can also enable or disable
SNMPv3 authentication for each user.
