Permanently deleted user -

Note the current settings

From a system using ipmitools issue the following command:

EX: the remote hosts IP is 192.168.1.10 & the username / password is ADMIN

[root@host ~]# ipmitool -H 192.168.1.10 -P ADMIN -U ADMIN lan print

                        :     O=OEM

If the first character of "Cipher Suite Priv Max" is not a capital X then cipher suite zero is enabled.

Make the change

To disable it, copy the "Cipher Suite Priv Max" output (ex: aaaaXXaaaXXaaXX) and change the first character to X (ex: XaaaXXaaaXXaaXX)

Re-run the command but replace print with set 1 cipher_privs XaaaXXaaaXXaaXX (note the X as the first character)

[root@host ~]# ipmitool -H 192.168.1.10 -P ADMIN -U ADMIN lan set 1 cipher_privs XaaaXXaaaXXaaXX

 

Now re-run the first command to be sure the changes were made:

[root@host ~]# ipmitool -H 192.168.1.10 -P ADMIN -U ADMIN lan print
