# 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.
|
|
- Bind Password: password of the user specified above
|
|
|
|
