"ipmitool user list" fails

[uebayasi]

# /tmp/bin/ipmitool user list 
Get User Access command failed (channel 14, user 1): Invalid data field in request

[uebayasi]

"ipmitool user list 2" succeeds.

This seems a bug of ipmitool, not ipmi(4) driver:

[uebayasi]

Why "channel 14, user 1"?

[uebayasi]

"ipmitool user summary" also fails with the same error message as "ipmitoo user list".

[uebayasi]

"channel 14" is alias of "all channels".

Both "ipmitool user list" and "ipmitool user summary" work from network (lanplus):

% ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.123 -U Administrator -P xxx user summary
Maximum IDs         : 16
Enabled User Count  : 3
Fixed Name Count    : 2

The same problem on SuperMicro X8DTU (BIOS 2.1b) with Debian Wheezy, kernel 3.2.78-1/amd64 and ipmitool 1.8.11-5:

# ipmitool user list
Get User Access command failed (channel 14, user 1): Invalid data field in request

# ipmitool user list 1
ID  Name	     Callin  Link Auth	IPMI Msg   Channel Priv Limit
2   ADMIN            false   false      true       ADMINISTRATOR

Is here any update on this issue?
I got the same problem when I tried to use ipmitool-user-list/summary command in-band.
Version 1.8.11 and 1.8.18 are both failed.

I know this is an older post. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to posts this, but i haven't found a better place. I too am having problems changing passwords for users I've created. The users I have are id 2 and 3, with username "admin" and "nagios" respectively. I'm using ipmitool 1.8.18 on Debian 10.6. When I run "sudo ipmitool user set password " I get:
IPMI command failed: Invalid data field in request
Set User Password command failed (user )

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just found this page, and when I run ipmitool user list I see IPMI command failed: Invalid data field in request.

When I ran ipmitool user list 1, I see the expected user list. So, perhaps try checking non-default devices by incrementing the number after the list.
