Adding And Managing CMC Users

From the Users and User Configuration pages in the web-based interface, you can view information about CMC users, add a new user, and change settings for an existing user.

NOTE: For added security, it is highly recommended that you change the default password of the root (User 1) account. The root account is the default administrative account that ships with the CMC.

To change the default password for the root account, click User ID 1 to open the User Configuration page. Help for that page is available through the Help link at the top right corner of the page.

NOTE: You must have User Configuration Administrator privileges to perform the following steps.

1.Log in to the web-based interface.

2.Select Chassis in the system tree.

3.Click the Network/Security tab, and then click the Users sub-tab.

The Users page is displayed, listing each user’s user ID, login state, user name, and CMC privilege, including those of the root user. User IDs available for configuration have no user information displayed.

4.Click an available user ID number. The User Configuration page is displayed.

To refresh the contents of the Users page, click Refresh. To print the contents of the Users page, click Print.

5.Select general settings for the users.

For details on user groups and privileges, see the CMC User’s Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

6.Assign the user to a CMC user group.

You can customize the privileges settings for the user by using the check boxes. After you have selected a CMC Group or made Custom user privilege selections, click Apply Changes to save the settings.

When you select a user privilege setting from the CMC Group drop-down menu, the enabled privileges (shown as checked boxes in the list) are displayed according to the pre-defined settings for that group.

Configuring iDRAC Networking Using The Web-Based Interface

Follow this procedure to configure the iDRAC in the LCD configuration wizard.

NOTE: If you did not configure the iDRAC using the LCD configuration wizard, iDRAC is disabled until you configure it using the web-based interface.

NOTE: You must have Chassis Configuration Administrator privileges to set up iDRAC network settings from the CMC.

NOTE: The default CMC user name is root and the default password is calvin.

1.Log in to the web-based interface.
