Multiple password changes
Jun 15 2008, 7:18 PM EDT Hi There, It would be great if we could select multiple DRACs, right click and have "Change password" as an option... failing this... any option which makes it easier to change DRAC passwords on multiple devices.... the idea here is to make it easier to comply with security policies (frequent change of passwords… every 3 months in our case) Thanks, Stuart.

RE: Multiple password changes
Jul 17 2008, 9:44 PM EDT Attached a script which can do this: 1. config_drac.sh this script configures the username, password, active directory and all components of the drac 2. ipaddr.txt: This text file contains a list of ip address which need to be configured 3. drac.cfg: This file contains the configurations needed to be set/unset on the DRAC. To use the script the user has to do the following. 1. Copy these files into one directory (say /home/scripts) 2. Make the necessary changes in the drac.cfg file. This includes the configuration the user needs to automate. 3. Add all the ip addresses of the DRACs which needs to be configured using the drac.cfg file in ipaddr.txt file. 4. Run the script config_drac.sh 5. This scripts uses the information from the above mentioned files and attempts to configure the DRAC. 6. All the logs are stored in config.log file under the same folder as these files. I have added sample files for both drac.cfg and ipaddr.txt with some description in them for easy usage. Hope this helps: Do you find this valuable? |
