Abstract

User authorization and access information may be stored in a remote assistant card or chassis management module (CMM). The CMM may be in communication with each baseboard management controller (BMC) in a blade server system. Each BMC may authenticate its authorized users from the CMM using a simple user authorization retrieval command, e.g., IPMI Get Auth Code command. When an administrator wants to add or delete a user, the CMM may be updated instead of having to update each blade BMC. Each user may have a privilege list for any or all of the blades in the blade server system. This privilege list may define which user(s) apply to which blades, input-output (I/O) modules, and/or blade server system chassis.
