IPMI TLS Service and Interface

IPMI TLS is an Oracle improvement to IPMI security which requires a special version of the ipmitool client that supports TLS sessions. The IPMItool command option to access the TLS interface is:

impitool -I orcltls

Note that in cases where the -I option is not specified, the IPMItool utility will negotiate to the most secure interface available (in the following order):

  • TLS 1.2 (orcltls interface)

  • IPMI 2.0 (lanplus interface)
