Al,

I'll check this, at first glance it does not sound like correct
behavior.

Thanks,
Bill

Subject: BMC or system management bug?


Hey Bryan, Bill,

If a tiger4 BMC is configured with two idential usernames, but with
different passwords.  i.e.

user1 = foo
user2 = foo
pw1 = boo
pw2 = coo

LAN communication won't work with the second password. I assume the
firmware does a sequential search that quits after finding the first
username match.

Is this considered a bug in the BMC firmware, i.e. the Set User Name
command should return a bad completion code when configuring user2??  Or
perhaps should the BMC be searching all 4 usernames?  Or is this
considered the system management software's problem?  We should double
check that we're not configuring the same name twice?

Al
