Al, This is in the open session logic (once). If the session requires a higher privilege level, it should request a higher privilege level. Either the firmware will allow the session open with the requested privilege or it won't. I don't understand your reference to 'random IPMI commands'.
Is there really a use case where you would not want it to proceed, given that there is a use case (ILO3 bug) where allowing it to go through is better?

I believe it's the right thing to do to error out at the "authentication phase" and tell the user they can't connect at the requested privilege level. Otherwise, random IPMI commands will just fail with "privilege level not sufficient" later on.
