Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor, an input device, and a display device. The information handling system may be configured to: prior to booting an operating system, display a displayable identifier on the display device, wherein the displayable identifier encodes information indicative of a system identifier of the information handling system, a time, and an encrypted shared secret, and wherein the displayable identifier is usable by a mobile information handling system to determine an access password for the information handling system; and in response to receiving the access password at the input device, booting the operating system.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor, a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system, and an interface for communicatively coupling the management controller to a second information handling system external to the information handling system for out-of-band management of the information handling system, wherein the management controller is further configured to enable communication between the second information handling system and an operating system executing on the processor.

Abstract: A generic software application may be dynamically branded in response to communication with a baseband management controller. Servers and other information handling systems may be remotely or locally managed using the generic software application. The generic software application provides an interface to the baseboard management controller. The baseboard management controller locally stores one or more branding files associated with a brand identity. Once the communication is established, the baseboard management controller sends the branding files to a device executing the generic software application. The branding files may then be incorporated into the interface provided by the generic software application. The interface may thus assume the brand identity associated with the baseband management controller. When management of the baseband management controller is completed, the communication terminates and the branding files may be discarded.
