We have a number of Dell C6220 boxes that we want to configure basic IPMI settings using ipmitool - however we are unable to set a password for the Admin user we set up - ipmitool complains:
# ipmitool user set password 2 mypassword Set User Password command failed (user 2): Unknown (0x8f) It turns out that these BMCs have a "Password Policy Check Enable" on by default - which we can see via the Web interface to the BMC - if this setting is disabled in the Web GUI, we can then set the password to what we require via ipmitool Does anyone know if it is possible to turn off this "Password Policy Check Enable" setting via ipmitool? - as using the Web interface is impractical for our needs Thanks James Pearson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
