Password Recovery
There are two password recovery options for the IPMI module. You can configure password recovery emails
or use the IPMITool to reset the password.
Setting Up Email Password Recovery
You can configure the IPMImodule to send password recovery emails in the event that a user forgets their
password. To enable this, you must set up the user's email information and configure the IPMI module SMTP
settings.
Password Recovery User Management Settings for Email Receiver
On the User Management Configuration page for each user (Settings > User Management > User
Management Configuration), enter the email address to be used for the password recovery email in the Email
ID field.
Password Recovery SMTP Settings
Go to Settings > SMTPSettings. The settings entered here will depend on the type of email service used.
