racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2 -o

cfgUserAdminEnable 1

To verify that the user was added successfully with the correct privileges, use the following commands:
racadm getconfig –g cfgUserAdmin –i 2

For more information on the RACADM commands, see the

RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC7 and

CMC

available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Disabling CMC User

When using RACADM, users must be disabled manually and on an individual basis. Users cannot be deleted using a
configuration file.
To delete a CMC user, the command syntax is:
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName

-i <index>""

racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2 -o

cfgUserAdminPrivilege 0x0

A null string of double quote characters ("") instructs CMC to remove the user configuration at the specified index and
reset the user configuration to the original factory defaults.

Enabling CMC User With Permissions

To enable a user with specific administrative permissions (role-based authority):

1.

Locate an available user index using the command syntax:
racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <index>

2.

Type the following commands with the new user name and password.
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o

cfgUserAdminPrivilege -i <index> <user privilege bitmask value>

NOTE: For a list of valid bit mask values for specific user privileges, see the

RACADM Command Line

Reference Guide for iDRAC7 and CMC

available at dell.com/support/manuals. The default privilege value is 0,

which indicates the user has no privileges enabled.

Configuring Active Directory Users

If your company uses the Microsoft Active Directory software, you can configure the software to provide access to
CMC, allowing you to add and control CMC user privileges to your existing users in your directory service. This is a
licensed feature.

NOTE: Using Active Directory to recognize CMC users is supported on the Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows
Server 2003 operating systems. Active Directory over IPv6 and IPv4 is supported on Windows 2008.

You can configure user authentication through Active Directory to log in to the CMC. You can also provide role-based
authority, which enables an administrator to configure specific privileges for each user.
