Re: [Ipmitool-devel] IPMI password

[<je...@je...>]

IPMIv2 includes encrypted sessions, which would allow you to _change_ you=
r
password on a secure line once you authenticated with an existing
password.
IPMIv1/v2 does not include any type of public key authentication, though
IPMIv2 includes provisions for extensible OEM authentication (and
authorization/encryption) policies.  I don't know how well thought out
this mechanism is though, because I haven't had a chance to explore it in
detail.
This would of course require the remote console and BMC to be aware of th=
e
custom OEM policy.
