Abstract
According to one aspect, a system for managing user access to a service processor is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a computer-executable management access module for performing functions to authenticate a user. A management computer that is communicatively coupled to the service processor is operative to perform management functions for at least one target computer. User authentication functions include receiving a first set of login data from a user of the management computer and verifying whether the received login data corresponds to an approved user. If the first set of login data corresponds to an approved user, a code is generated and then displayed on the management computer. When recognized by the personal computing device, data from the code is used for providing a second set of login information to the user, for permitting the user to access the service processor via the management computer.
