#3780 Incorrect password selected for blade

[Lissa Valletta]

From the mailing list

I'm seeing incorrect behavior in our xCAT installation when running r*
commands on blades. The default IPMI password is being selected over the
MM/blade password whether it is set as a default or for the individual
blade chassis in mpa. Disabling the default IPMI password fixes the
issue but obviously this isn't an acceptable workaround.

The version is 2.8 and the problem appears to be in/below the
getIPMIAuth function. Could a developer please take a look at this issue
or if anyone has seen a similar problem could you please provide
feedback? Thanks.

Maybe a patch needs to be provided??

The code logic was not correct to use the getIPMIAuth to get the password for AMM/CMM, the original code logic worked well, you should roll back the old code.
