Configuring Local User Accounts

System administrators can create and maintain up to 10 local user accounts in Oracle ILOM. For instructions for using configurable properties in Oracle ILOM to create or maintain local user accounts, see the following tables:

Note:

For SPARC platforms, such as the M-series servers, system administrators can create and maintain up to 60 local user accounts. To determine the maximum number of user accounts supported, click the More details... link in the ILOM Administration → User Management → User Account page in the web interface.

Table 3-8 Create User Account and Assign User Roles

User Interface Configurable Target:
  • CLI: /SP/users/
  • Web: ILOM Administration > User Management > User Accounts
  • User Role: User Management (u) (required to create user accounts).
Property Description

Users > Add

( user_name password= role = )

user_name |Password=|Role= administrator |operator|advanced (a|u|c|r|o|s)

Populate the Add User properties with a user name and password, then confirm the password, and assign a user role.

The user name must be 4 to 16 characters and must start with an alphabetic character and use no spaces. The password must be 8 to 16 characters, which are case sensitive. Use any characters except a colon and space.

CLI Create User Syntax:

create / SP|/users/ user_name_for_account password= password_for_account role= administrator|operator|a|u|c|r|o|s

Example Syntax:

create /SP/users user5 password=administrator role=aucr

Note. When adding a user account through the CLI, it is unnecessary to provide a property value for a role or password. The role will default to Read-Only (o), and the CLI will prompt you to provide and confirm a password.
