Create or Modify SOL User Name and Password

Use the ShMM CLI to create or modify a user account and password for SOL sessions. Access to the commands are disabled from ipmitool. For detailed information about using the ShMM CLI and commands, refer to the Netra CT 900 Server Administration and Reference Manual (819-1177).

SOL implementation supports two users. A mandatory null user with user id 1 and a second user with user id 2. Default user name and password for user id 2 is soluser and solpasswd. The user name and password string should be null terminated. The command expects 16 bytes. Pad unused bytes with zeros. The default user name and password can be used, or you can change the user name and password.

1. To change the user name from the default soluser, enter the following command at the ShMM CLI:

   # clia sendcmd 9a 06 45 02 72 61 6a 65 65 76 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
   Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
   Completion code: 0x0 (0)

   where 72 61 6a 65 65 76 are the ASCII characters for the new user name being set.

2. To change the password from the default solpasswd, enter the following command at the ShMM CLI:

   # clia sendcmd 9a 06 47 2 2 61 62 63 64 65 66 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
   Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
   Completion code: 0x0 (0)

   where 61 62 63 64 65 66 are the ascii equivalents of the alpha characters being used for the password. In this example, the password would be “abcdef.”

3. To verify that the user name and password changes are accepted, read the settings by entering the following command:

   # ipmitool -I lan -H 10.7.100.180 -P "" channel getaccess 0xe 2
   Maximum User IDs: 2
   Enabled User IDs: 2
   User ID: 2
   User Name: name
   Fixed Name: No
   Access Available: call-in/callback
   Link Authentication: enabled
   IPMI Messaging: enabled
   Privilege Level: USER

   where in place of name, the user’s name is displayed.
