Local Operating System Authentication

Use the omconfig rac authentication command to determine whether local operating system authentication of users is enabled or disabled for the remote access controller.

The RAC has two methods of authenticating user access: RAC authentication and local operating system authentication. RAC authentication is always enabled. Administrators can set up specific user accounts and passwords that allow access to the RAC.

Operating systems also require administrators to define different levels of users and user accounts; each user level has different privileges. Local operating system authentication on the RAC is an option for administrators who do not want to define one set of privileges for users in the operating system and a separate set of users and accounts for the RAC. If you enable local operating system authentication for the RAC, you enable any user with Administrator status on the operating system to log into the RAC.
