Creating IPMI User Accounts

An IPMI username and password are required to connect to a remote IPMI interface. You can define new IPMI user accounts using the CLI.

To create an IPMI user account:

1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures an IPMI interface.
   user@host# edit system ipmi
2. Set a plain-text password that is autoencrypted by the CLI.
   [edit system ipmi]
   user@host# set user name plain-text-password

   For example:

   user@host#set user johndoe plain-text password
   New password: xyz123 (text will not appear)
   Re-type new password: xyz123 (text will not appear)
3. Verify the configuration.
   [edit system ipmi]
   admin@gnome# show
   address 10.227.1.145/24;
   gateway 10.227.7.1;

   user admin {

   encrypted-password ********;

   }

   user jdoe {

   encrypted-password ********;

   }
