One might consider nonsense docs a feature when it comes to IPMI :)

The faq should probably link to this video instead:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZeUntdObCA

It goes into far more details on IPMI user-authentication than the
SuperMicro manual, so it is almost on-topic here.  And it will probably
make you reconsider whether RADIUS authentication is worth it at all in
this case.

There is also a nice transcript at https://lwn.net/Articles/630778/ But
I recommend spending the time to view Matthew's presentation.  With some
popcorn.  He is really entertaining, as usual.
