ipmitool gives "Authentication type NONE not supported"

Question

I'm executing below command from ubuntu 12.04 and get error

ipmitool -H 192.168.0.254 -U root -P root user list
Authentication type NONE not supported
Authentication type NONE not supported
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Get User Access command failed (channel 14, user 1)

I have enabled verbose option and have following output

ipmitool -H 192.168.0.254 -U root -P root user list -vvv

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem?

Answer 1

Please use -I lanplus, such as:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.254 -U root -P root user list

Answer 2

I solved problem by telling IPMI which auth methods IPMI should use explicitly:

ipmitool lan set 1 auth $username MD5,PASSWORD

This command could be executed only locally if you can't connect from remote location
