The second and permanent way is as follows:

5. Click on “Connect to IPMI Control Panel” or “IPMI Login Page” if you did the first method in Step 4(NOTE: YOU MUST CONNECT TO THE VPN PRIOR TO ACCESSING THE IPMI WEB UI, OR HAVE ADDED YOUR IP TO THE ALLOW LIST FROM THE STEPS ABOVE) and enter the credentials as they are listed in the “Show my IPMI Credentials” link in the previous step and click “Login” to log in.
6. You should now see the main dashboard of the IPMI interface.
Congratulations! you have successfully logged into your server’s IPMI, you can now do things like reboot and console your server as if you were standing in front of it.
