You get the Next Token from RSA SecurID Token app by clicking on Options. Check Next Token, and the next passcode is
available. Time is critical in this step. Otherwise, iDRAC may fail the verification of the next token. If the iDRAC user login
session times out, it requires another attempt to log in
If a wrong passcode is entered, the RSA AM server will challenge the user to provide the "Next Token." This challenge happens
even though the user may have later entered the correct passcode. This entry proves that the user owns the right Token that
generates the right passcodes.
To get the next token from RSA SecurID Token app, click on Options and check Next Token. A new token is generated. Time
is critical in this step. Otherwise, iDRAC may fail the verification of the next token. If the iDRAC user login session times out, it
requires another attempt to log in.
Viewing system health
Before you perform a task or trigger an event, you can use RACADM to check if the system is in a suitable state. To view the
remote service status from RACADM, use the getremoteservicesstatus command.

Logging in to iDRAC using public key authentication
You can log in to the iDRAC over SSH without entering a password. You can also send a single RACADM command as a
command line argument to the SSH application. The command line options behave like remote RACADM since the session ends
after the command is completed.
For example:
Logging in:
ssh username@<domain>
or
ssh username@<IP_address>
