Configuring Your Managed System 17
User Configuration Subtask
The User Configuration subtask provides a way to configure the user access to the LAN and Serial
channels. Up to four users are allowed. Some of the options presented in these screens depend on
how the channels have been configured; therefore, the channels should be configured before you
access these settings.
Sessions allow a framework for user authentication and allow multiple IPMI messaging streams on
a single channel.
After clicking on the
User Configuration subtask, the screen displayed below is shown. This screen
displays an entry for each possible user that can be configured. This screen shows:
• Whether a particular user is enabled or disabled for channel access
• Whether a password is set for the user
• The BMC privilege level the user has for each of the available channels that supports sessions
(users can only access channels that support sessions)
Figure 2-1. User Configuration Screen
The first user is always present and is used to support an anonymous login. The username for this
user is null (blank) and cannot be changed; the user name displays the text Anonymous User. The
password can be set to a desired value.
It is possible for multiple user entries to have the same username. This occurs if a different
password is needed for the same user on different channels. In this case, the privilege level for the
channel that is not to be accessed with the associated password should be set to No Access.
