Dell POWEREDGE M1000E - Manual (Page 126)

The user is created with the required privileges.
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 up to 16 users in the CMC property database. Before you manually enable a CMC user, verify if any
current users exist.
If you are configuring a new CMC or if you have used the racadm racresetcfg command, the only current user is
root with the password calvin. The racresetcfg subcommand resets all configuration parameters to the
original defaults. Any previous changes are lost.
NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time, and disabling a user does not delete the user from the
database.
To verify if a user exists, open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in, and type the following command once for
each index of 1–16:
racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <index>
NOTE: You can also type racadm getconfig -f <myfile.cfg> and view or edit the myfile.cfg file, which
includes all CMC configuration parameters.
Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values. Two objects of importance are:
# cfgUserAdminIndex=XX
cfgUserAdminUserName=
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.
When you manually enable or disable a user with the racadm config subcommand, you must specify the index with
the -i option.
The "#" character in the command objects 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 or objects to write, the index cannot be specified. A new
user is added to the first available index. This behavior allows more flexibility in configuring a second CMC with the
same settings as the main CMC.
Adding CMC User Using RACADM
To add a new user to the CMC configuration, perform the following:
1. Set the user name.
2. Set the password.
3. Set the user privileges. For information about user privileges, see Types of Users .
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 CMC.
NOTE: See the RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC7 and CMC for a list of valid bit mask values for
specific user privileges. The default privilege value is 0, which indicates the user has no privileges enabled.
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName
-i 2
