There was a "bug" a few years back in Dell iDRAC that silently truncated the password. Took a number of support calls and ticket escalations to get them to recognize it and patch it. It occurred to me then that if Dell's enterprise team did it that it must be much more rampant than I've seen.
- sofixa 6y agoiDRACs aren't supposed to be public, and are on average far less sensitive than a bank account, so all in all, not that bad. And considering the quality of Dell software, it's actually better than most of their useless pieces of crapware.
- LilBytes 6y agoI saw this bug. Security risk or not. Changing your password on the idrac and it not being what's expected and having to jump into a DC to change 30+ host iDRACs was not ideal. All because I couldn't find the bug at the time, I read it a few weeks later only after over a week of back breaking basic sys admin work. Small bonus. It built my use case for fucking off more on premise infrastructure into the cloud.
