Intel AMT Power Parameters do not have User field

[Mark W Wenning]

Dell AMT systems (PowerEdge T20, multiple laptops, future systems) allow you to set multiple user accounts to manage the system.
MAAS 1.7.2+ "Edit Node" GUI screen assumes a user of 'admin' and does not have a field for the user.

Just to be clear, this is for Power type = Intel AMT

Hi Mark,

Can you please provide examples as to how you would power on/off systems that use usernames.

What is the AMT version being used that requires the use of Usernames? Is this the same case for servers?

Also, assigning this to Newell as this falls under HWE enablement and they recently made changes to AMT's power type.

script attached.
All Dell servers that support AMT have a way to specify other users besides 'admin' . Currently there is only one Dell AMT server, the PowerEdge T20, but more are expected in June/July of 2015.
The AMT version supported by the T20 is v9.
I happen to have a bunch of laptops that support vPro/AMT that I have been using to verify older versions of AMT with MAAS; these range from v4 to v8 .

The script attached will show how to use other AMT users.
Example: I added a user called 'Bob" with a password of 'Password2+' to the node at 192.168.10.29, to power on the machine, run

wsman_cmd.sh -h 192.168.10.29 -u "Bob" -p "Password2+"
