Your IPMI device does not support the password authentication. The following line in the ipmitool output lists all of authentication types that are supported in your device:
Auth Type Support : MD2 MD5 OEM
So authentication types NONE
and PASSWORD
are not supported. It is probably due to security reasons because both of them are rather bad choice for authentication. Nevertheless it is up to BMC firmware developer what authentication type is supported.
You can enable / disable authentication types that are supported by your device by ipmitool:
# ipmitool lan set 1 auth User NONE
# ipmitool lan print 1
...
Auth Type Support : NONE MD5
Auth Type Enable : Callback : MD5
: User : NONE
: Operator : MD5
: Admin : MD5
: OEM : MD5
...
But I cannot set PASSWORD
or MD2
because they are not supported in my device.
