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