6.9.16 Data Center Management Interface (DCMI)

The DCMI Specification is an emerging standard that is targeted to provide a simplified

management interface for Internet Portal Data Center (IPDC) customers. It is expected to

become a requirement for server platforms which are targeted for IPDCs. DCMI is an IPMI-

based standard that builds upon a set of required IPMI standard commands by adding a set of

DCMI-specific IPMI OEM commands. Intel

S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server Platforms will

be implementing the mandatory DCMI features in the BMC firmware (DCMI 1.1 Errata 1

compliance). Please refer to DCMI 1.1 errata 1 spec for details. Only mandatory commands will

be supported. No support for optional DCMI commands. Optional power management and SEL

roll over feature is not supported. DCMI Asset tag will be independent of baseboard FRU asset

Tag. Please refer table DCMI Group Extension Commands for more details on

DCMI commands.

6.9.17 Lightweight Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol supported by the

BMC for the purpose of authentication and authorization. The BMC user connects with an LDAP

server for login authentication. This is only supported for non-IPMI logins including the

embedded web UI and SM-CLP. IPMI users/passwords and sessions are not supported

over LDAP.

LDAP can be configured (IP address of LDAP server, port, and so on.) via the BMC’s

Embedded Web UI. LDAP authentication and authorization is supported over the any NIC

configured for system management. The BMC uses a standard Open LDAP implementation

for Linux*.

Only open LDAP is supported by BMC. Windows and Novel LDAP are not supported.
