I'm hoping some kind soul here can set me on the path because I seem unable to make sense of things. I cannot ascertain how the set cipher_privs string correlates to the list of ciphers and which place toggles which ciphers.
ipmitool lan set 3 cipher_privs XXaXXXXXXXaXXXX
Enables Cipher Suites 3 and 17. Cipher Suite 3 I understand as 0 is omitted and doesn't have a place in the string. How is the fifth place in from the right end Suite 17? Looking at the list of suites in the channel config Suite 17 should be one place in from the right end.
RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,15,16,17,18
I understand the level assignments (X,c,u,o,a,O) for each place in the cipher_privs argument but the fifteen places in the string is throwing me for a loop as to what the definition of each place is, what Suite or other function it represents.
I read the IPMI 2.0 specification and several of Intel's IPMI and BMC manuals and it is clear as mud.
I have discovered that the wrong setting can kill logins to Intel's RMM4 WebUI. Getting some idea of what each place in the fifteen character string maps to appears to be important to not kill something inadvertently. Oddly enough, it doesn't appear to be well documented.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
