Does anyone know if it's possible to change the IPMI password on a Supermicro board through the HTML5 client, or is this something I still require the Java app for?
Not sure what you mean. There’s the Java IPMIView and the web GUI. I’m trying to just get by with the web GUI but I can’t find a way to change the default password on a new board.Are you talking about using IPMI tool or just the web GUI?
From the webGUI:
Configuration->Users
- Click on ADMIN
- Click "Modify User" button
- Check "Change Password"
- Enter password and confirm in the next box
- Click "Modify" button to save changes
Let me know if something isn't making sense or lining up with what you see in your UI
# display all users
ipmitool user list 1
# change username of user $ID (case-sensitive, defaults to ADMIN on SM boards)
ipmitool user set name $ID ipmiadmin
# reset pwd of user $ID
ipmitool user set password $ID
