Creating Users

creating with pam is easiest, but creating with pve is probably safer to seperate from your sudo password.

Make sure to set 2 factor authentication after.

IPMI

Replace <username> with your chosen username.

# modprobe ipmi_devintf
# ipmitool user set name 2 <username>
# ipmitool user set password 2
# ipmitool user enable 2

IPMI Sideband

Tip: IPMI Sideband is useful if you are at a colocated datacenter and just want to test IPMI without having to ask a tech to attach it. But it might be a good idea to disable sideband once you can get IPMI working on it's native port, so that the host port can be disconnected when not needed.

Use this to run IPMI over the same network ethernet interface.
