How to add user in DRAC 6 ?

Ref - http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smdrac3/idrac/idrac15mono/en/ug/pdf/ug.pdf

- Login to linux shell using the DRAC's main IP

- To verify if a user exists, type the following command at the command prompt:
racadm getconfig -u USER

OR

NOTE - (please take this step seriously and ensure the users configured on indexes, if not then you can configure user on the index except the preconfigured user on that index)

- Type the following command once for each index of 1–16:
racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3

- To add user
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName -i 3 USER

- To set password for configured user
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 3 PASSWORD

- To set read only privileges to user
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3 -o cfgUserAdminPrivilege 0x00000001

- To enable the user
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -i 3 -o cfgUserAdminEnable 1

- Login to DRAC Web interface with the user you created. 


Note:- Each Dell DRAC comes with a default password; user: “root” password: “calvin”. But, we should change that for security purposes.
