A web browser will send an HTTP "Host:" header for the website it is looking 
for, so perhaps the web app on the BMC will only honour logins where that 
matches what it thinks its hostname is (or its IP address).

You could test that by adding the hostname it thinks it has to your /etc/hosts 
and then using that hostname to access it.   I'd be a little surprised if it 
worked, but not too much given the general quality of BMCs...

cheers,
Chris
