122 omconfig rac: Managing the Remote Access Controller
Example Command for omconfig rac authentication
When you type:
omconfig rac authentication localauthenable=true
you have configured the RAC to allow access to any user who has Administrator privileges on the
operating system.
When you type:
omconfig rac authentication localauthenable=false
you have configured the RAC to allow access only to users with user names and passwords that are
defined by the RAC administrator.
omconfig rac dialinusers
NOTE: Some features documented may not be available on your system's RAC. For example, dial-up modem use is
supported only on DRAC III.
Use the omconfig rac dialinusers command to specify requirements for each user who is to have dial-in
privileges. The administrator can specify values for a user name, password, and other properties for each
user. Table 7-2 shows the valid parameters for the command.
Table 7-2. omconfig rac dialinusers
name=value pair Description
username=<text> Sets the user name for the point-to-point protocol (PPP) user.
index=<number:0–15> Sets the dial-in user index to populate with user name, password, and
so on. The index specifies one of the 16 user "positions" on the RAC.
If an index is not specified for an omconfig rac command, the entry is
added to the next available position on the RAC.
If an index is specified for an omconfig rac command and another
entry exists for that position, the key field parameter is used to decide
if the command should be executed. If the key field supplied by the
user matches the key field of the entry on that specific position of the
RAC, the RAC entry is edited. Otherwise, the command fails.
password=<text> Sets the password for this PPP user.
callbacknumber=<n> Sets the callback number.
callbacktype=none | preset | usr-specified Sets the type of call back.
