Configuring Local Users Using RACADM

NOTE: You must be logged in as user root to execute RACADM commands on a remote Linux system.

You can configure single or multiple iDRAC users using RACADM.

To configure multiple iDRAC users with identical configuration settings, perform one of the following procedures:

•Use the RACADM examples in this section as a guide to create a batch file of RACADM commands and then execute the batch file on each managed system.

•Create the iDRAC configuration file and execute the racadm config or racadm set subcommand on each managed system using the same configuration file.

If you are configuring a new iDRAC or if you have used the racadm racresetcfg command, the only current user is root with the password calvin. The racresetcfg subcommand resets the iDRAC to the default values.

NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time. As a result, a user may have a different index number on each iDRAC.

To verify if a user exists, type the following command at the command prompt:

•Using config command: racadm getconfig -u <username>

OR

Type the following command once for each index (1–16):

• Using config command: racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <index>

•Using get command: racadm get iDRAC.Users.<index>.UserName

NOTE: You can also type racadm getconfig -f <myfile.cfg> or racadm get -f <myfile.cfg> and view or edit the myfile.cfg file, which includes all iDRAC configuration parameters.

Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values. The objects of importance are:

•If you have used getconfig command:

# cfgUserAdminIndex=XX

cfgUserAdminUserName=

•If you have used get command: iDRAC.Users.UserName=

If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number, which is indicated by the cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use. If a name is displayed after the "=", that index is taken by that user name.
