MegaRAC SP-X BMC IPMI LDAP Setup

The MegaRAC SP-X BMC is a service processor firmware stack designed by American Megatrends Inc. (AMI), aimed at providing out-of-band management for servers and computing systems. It's part of the MegaRAC family of management solutions, offering remote server management capabilities, including monitoring, control, and maintenance functionalities, independent of the operating system or system state. This enables administrators to manage systems remotely for tasks such as updates, troubleshooting, and recovery.

Setting up LLDAP with MegaRAC SP-X BMC IPMI

Pre-requisites

  • Create and assign the ipmi group in LLDAP to a (test) user.
  • Bind User: It is recommended that you create a separate user account (e.g, bind_user) instead of admin for sharing Bind credentials with other services. The bind_user should be a member of the lldap_strict_readonly group to limit access to your LDAP configuration in LLDAP.
