Password is not changed for user used for bare-metal
discovery after successfully applying system profile that
has same user with new changed credentials in iDRAC user
list
The password of the user who is used from discovery is not changed to the new credential if only System Profile (Configuration of the
hardware) is selected for deployment. This is done intentionally so that the plug-in can communicate with the iDRAC for future use in
deployment needs.
