SCP import fails via CIFS

[qwertzlbert]

Importing a SCP fails when using a CIFS share. Importing from local works.
Importing via WebGUI works.

Repro Steps

Allways

[qwertzlbert]

This bug seems to be originating from a typo in OMSDK.
My pull request there should fix it.

I did further testing and the iDRAC firmware version 3.30.30.30 seems to have changed the expected property from "UserName" to "Username".
I rolled back to iDRAC version 3.21.25.22 for testing now I've got the opposite error:
expected id "UserName" not "Username".
