I don’t know if you’re talking about LeSI systems or not, but we bought a bunch 
of Lenovo equipment as part of one of these solutions recently and the username 
is admin with the password being in the form of the LeROM number and being 
provided with the paperwork about the cluster.

We’ve gotten bitten by all the rest of it as well, re: the 90 day expirations 
(nothing has been installed within 90 days of the password being set this year 
due to pandemic-related delays). We actually use Warewulf for our cluster (I’m 
on this list because of DSS-Gs), but the 24 hour password change thing usually 
bites us as well, as all of the settings are reapplied on boot, and sometimes 
we boot a node more than once a day. The nodes are less of a problem, but the 
SMM are tricky due to reduced access to them (nodes are simple as they are up 
and you can change settings via ipmitool and ASU).

So, for reference, there has been some adapting in the confluent out of band 
discovery to follow the password situation.

In theory, in-band bmcsetup should be fine. An ipmi over kcs password change 
should count, and doesn't check old password. However it rejects by default:
-Too simple passwords
-Passwords shorter than 10 characters
-More than one password change in 24 hours

Out of band, confluent knows how to negotiate the first password change. It 
also has the bmc settings with password policies:
# nodeconfig d1 bmc
d1: bmc.ipv4_address: 172.30.83.1/16
d1: bmc.ipv4_method: Static
d1: bmc.ipv4_gateway:
d1: bmc.hostname:
d1: bmc.password_change_interval: 0
d1: bmc.password_complexity: 1
d1: bmc.password_expiration: 90
d1: bmc.password_lockout_period: 60
d1: bmc.password_login_failures: 5
d1: bmc.password_min_length: 10
d1: bmc.password_reuse_count: 5
d1: bmc.presence_assert: Disable
d1: bmc.smm: Enable
d1: bmc.smm_ip: 172.30.230.3

I have a python script to remotely unexpire passwords:

The pithy ruminations from peter CZ1 Peng on

=?utf-8?q?mc_setup_and_the_USERID_password?=] were:
=> Hi ,Damir The new policy implementation due to California PASSWORD Law
=> requirement ,so if you want to keep the default USERID/PASSW0RD ,so IMM
=> settings should be update (please be note that if you load default IMM,
=> the settings would be default as below )
=>
=>
=>
=> IMM.ComplexPassword=Enabled
=> IMM.FirstAccessPwChange=Enabled
=> IMM.PasswordReuse=5 Passwords
=> IMM.PasswordAge=90
=> IMM.MinPasswordLen=10
=> IMM.DefPasswordExp=Enabled
=> IMM.ComplexPassword=Enabled

Yes, we got bitten by that as well -- did an automated password change, then 
90days later they were all expired. :(


Does the "-n" option to bncdiscover also reset the complexity & password 
expiration rules?

Thanks,

Mark
