ipmitool gives "Authentication type NONE not supported"

Solution 1

Please use -I lanplus, such as:

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

Solution 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

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

Authentication type NONE not supported
Error: Unable to establish LAN session

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

Thanks. Works on Solaris 10 interrogating Oracle X5 iLOM: ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.10.10.10 -U XXXXX -P XXXX -v sdr list

And in my case adding -I lanplus doesn't help, it gives me error in open session response message : invalid role Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
