This topic describes how to modify an ILOM user account to change the user’s password, network privileges, and serial privileges.
Operators can modify their own password, but only accounts with Administrator privileges are allowed to add, modify, or delete user accounts.
If a new user is given Administrator privileges, those privileges are also automatically granted to the user for the command-line interface (CLI) and Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) to ILOM.
Log in to the ILOM web interface as an Administrator.
Select User Management --> User Accounts.
The User Accounts page appears.
In the Users table, select the radio button next to the account you want to modify.
Click Edit.
The Edit User dialog box appears.
Modify the password if needed.
Select the Change check box if you want to change the user password. If you do not want to change the password, deselect the check box.
Type a new password in the New Password field.
The password must be between 8 and 16 characters. The password is casesensitive. Use alphabetical, numeric, and special characters for better security. You can use any character except a colon. Do not include spaces in passwords.
Retype the password in the Confirm Password field to ensure that the password is correct.
From the Role drop-down list, select Administrator or Operator.
After you have modified the account information, click Save for your changes to take effect, or click Close to return to the previous settings.
The User Account Settings page is redisplayed.
