Users Guide

• Server Administrator uses the default operating system user privileges, if:
• a user is degraded in the omarolemap file
• there are duplicate entries of user names or user groups along with same <Host_Name>
• You can also use Space as a delimiter for columns instead of [Tab].
Creating Server Administrator Users For VMware ESXi 6. X
To add a user to the Users table:
1. Log in to the host using the vSphere Client.
2. Click the Users & Groups tab and click Users.
3. Right-click anywhere in the Users table and click Add to open the Add New User dialog box.
4. Enter login, user name, a numeric user ID (UID), and password; specifying that the user name and UID are optional. If you do not
specify the UID, the vSphere Client assigns the next available UID.
5. To allow a user to access the ESXi host through a command shell, select Grant shell access to this user. Users that access the host
only through the vSphere Client do not need shell access.
6. To add the user to a group, select the group name from the Group drop-down menu and click Add.
7. Click OK.
Disabling Guest And Anonymous Accounts In Supported
Windows Operating Systems
NOTE:
You must be logged in with Administrator privileges.
1. Open the Computer Management window.

3. Double-click Guest or IUSR_system name user account to see the Properties for those users, or right-click the Guest or
IUSR_system name user account and then select Properties.
4. Select Account is disabled and click OK.
A red circle with an X appears over the user name to indicate that the account is disabled.
Configuring The SNMP Agent
Server Administrator supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP—a systems management standard—on all supported
operating systems. The SNMP support may or may not be installed depending on your operating system and how the operating system
was installed. In most cases, SNMP is installed as part of your operating system installation. An installed supported systems management
protocol standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing Server Administrator.
You can configure the SNMP agent to change the community name and to send traps to a management station. To configure your SNMP
agent for proper interaction with management applications such as the OpenManage Essentials, perform the procedures described in the
following sections.
NOTE:
The default SNMP agent configuration usually includes a SNMP community name such as public. For security
reasons, you must rename the default SNMP community names. For information about renaming the SNMP community
names, see Changing The SNMP Community Name.
NOTE: For OpenManage Essentials to retrieve management information from a system running Server Administrator,
the community name used by OpenManage Essentials must match a community name on the system running Server
Administrator. For OpenManage Essentials to modify information or perform actions on a system running Server
Administrator, the community name used by OpenManage Essentials must match a community name that allows Set
operations on the system running Server Administrator. For OpenManage Essentials to receive traps (asynchronous
event notifications) from a system running Server Administrator, the system running Server Administrator must be
configured to send traps to the system running OpenManage Essentials .
The following procedures provide step-by-step instructions for configuring the SNMP agent for each supported operating system:
• Configuring the SNMP Agent For Systems Running Supported Windows Operating Systems
• Configuring the SNMP Agent On Systems Running Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux
