Create a Profile with CCM

Client Control Mode (CCM) provides full access to features of Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), but it does require user consent for all redirection features.

While Intel® AMT includes the ability to use the features listed below with user consent in CCM, the Open AMT Cloud Toolkit does not currently support it.

These features require user consent:

• Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Control
• IDE-Redirection for sharing and mounting images remotely
• Serial-over-LAN (SOL)

Create a Profile

Profiles provide configuration information to the firmware on platforms featuring Intel® AMT during the activation process with the Remote Provisioning Client (RPC).

To create a CCM profile:

1. Select the Profiles tab from the menu on the left.

2. Under the Profiles tab, click New in the top-right corner to create a profile.

   Figure 1: Create a new profile.

3. Specify a Profile Name of your choice.

4. Under Activation Mode, select Client Control Mode from the dropdown menu.

5. Leave Generate Random AMT Password unchecked.

   Production Environment

   In a production environment, you typically generate a random password for each AMT device to create a stronger, more secure AMT environment.

6. Provide a strong AMT Password. AMT will verify this password when receiving a command from a MPS server.

   Important - Using Strong Passwords

   This password must meet standard, strong password requirements:

   • 8 to 32 characters

   • One uppercase, one lowercase, one numerical digit, one special character

7. The MEBX Password field is disabled, as the password for Intel® Manageability Engine BIOS Extensions (Intel® MEBX) cannot be set when activating in CCM due to the lower level of trust when compared to ACM.

8. Select DHCP as Network Configuration.

9. Select the name of the CIRA Configuration you created previously from the drop-down menu.

10. This express setup assumes the managed device (i.e. AMT device) is on a wired connection for quickest setup. To learn more about a Wireless Setup, see the Wireless Activation Tutorial.

11. Optionally, add Tags to help in organizing and querying devices as your list of managed devices grow.

12. Click Save.
