An IP address or hostname, password, and username are required for connecting to a BMC.
These are passed in with the following options:
-H: The hostname or IP for the BMC-U: The username-P: The password, provided in-line-A: Prompt for a password. Can be used in place of -P.The local user accounts on the BMC, such as root, can be disabled, queried, and re-enabled with the 'local_users' sub-command.
Important: After disabling local users, an LDAP user will need to be used for further interaction with the BMC, including if using openbmctool to enable local users again.
To view current local user account status:
openbmctool <connection options> local_users queryenabled
To disable all local user accounts:
openbmctool <connection options> local_users disableall
To re-enable all local user accounts:
openbmctool <connection options> local_users enableall
