About credential profile
Credential profiles simplify the use and management of user credentials by authenticating the role-based capabilities of the user.
Each credential profile contains a user name and password for a single user account. A credential profile authenticates a user’s
role-based capabilities. The appliance uses credential profiles to connect to the managed systems’ iDRAC.
Also, you can use credential profiles to access the FTP site, resources available in Windows Shares, and when working with
different features of iDRAC.
You can create four types of credential profiles:
● Device Credential Profile — this profile is used to log in to iDRAC or Chassis Management Controller (CMC).
NOTE:
○ When no default profile is created or selected, the default iDRAC factory setting is used. The default user name as
root and password as calvin is used.
￭ The default iDRAC profile is used to access the server when you discover a server or perform synchronization.
○ The default CMC profile has user name as root and password as calvin, and is used to access the modular server
to get information about the chassis.
○ Use the device type credential profile to discover a server, log in to CMC, resolve synchronization issues, and deploy
operating system.
● Windows Credential Profile — This profile is used for accessing Windows Shares while creating a DRM update source.
● FTP Credential Profile — This profile is used for accessing an FTP site.
● Proxy Server Credentials — This profile is used for providing proxy credentials for accessing any FTP sites for updates.
Predefined credential profiles
