Data Center Management Interface (DCMI)
User identifications
For ‘session based’ channels (see the section "Channel concept under IPMI" on
page 28), a user login is necessary. By contrast, the ‘sessionless’ channels
have no user authentication.
Under IPMI, the user configuration is channel specific. Thus, users can have
different privileges depending on whether they are accessing the BMC via the
LAN channel or the serial channel.
