When you manually enable or disable a user with the racadm config subcommand, you must specify the index with the -i option.

Observe that the cfgUserAdminIndex object displayed in the previous example contains a '#' character. It indicates that it is a read-only object. Also, if you use the racadm config -f racadm.cfg command to specify any number of groups/objects to write, the index cannot be specified. This behavior allows more flexibility in configuring multiple iDRAC with the same settings.

To enable SNMP v3 authentication for a user, use SNMPv3AuthenticationType, SNMPv3Enable, SNMPv3PrivacyType objects. For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Interface Guide available at dell.com/esmmanuals.

If you are using the configuration XML file, then use the AuthenticationProtocol, ProtocolEnable, and PrivacyProtocol attributes to enable SNMPv3 authentication.

Adding iDRAC User Using RACADM

To add a new user to the RAC configuration, perform the following:

1.Set the user name.

2.Set the password.

3.Set the following user privileges:

iDRAC

LAN

Serial Port

Serial Over LAN

4.Enable the user.

Example:

The following example describes how to add a new user named "John" with a "123456" password and LOGIN privileges to the RAC.

racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName -i 3 john racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 3 123456 racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3 -o cfgUserAdminPrivilege 0x00000001 racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3 -o cfgUserAdminIpmiLanPrivilege 2 racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3 -o cfgUserAdminIpmiSerialPrivilege 2 racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3 -o cfgUserAdminSolEnable 1

racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3 -o cfgUserAdminEnable 1

To verify, use one of the following commands:

racadm getconfig -u john

racadm getconfig –g cfgUserAdmin –i 3
