@ -69,6 +69,27 @@ should not need to restart the proxy minion--it should just pick up the
third password in the list. You can then change pillar at will to
move that password to the front and retire the unused ones.
Beware, many Dell CMC and iDRAC units are configured to lockout
IP addresses or users after too many failed password attempts. This can
generate user panic in the form of "I no longer know what the password is!!!".
To mitigate panic try the web interface from a different IP, or setup a
emergency administrator user in the CMC before doing a wholesale
password rotation.
The automatic lockout can be disabled via Salt with the following:
.. code-block:: bash
salt <cmc> chassis.cmd set_general cfgRacTuning cfgRacTuneIpBlkEnable 0
and then verified with
.. code-block:: bash
salt <cmc> chassis.cmd get_general cfgRacTuning cfgRacTuneIpBlkEnable
salt-proxy
