Hello John,

I had similar errors (on other hardware however).
The problem turned out to be the BMC configuration: cipher suites were
configured in such a way that an admin could not use cipher number 2
to log in. I had to change uuuOXXuuOXXuOXX to uuaOXXuuOXXuOXX (watch
the third character which changed from 'u' to 'a')
You could probably do this by adapting this command: ipmitool -H
node001-bmc -U admin_name -P admin_password lan set 1 cipher_privs
uuaOXXuuOXXuOXX

Cheers,
François Chavant
