Owner's Manual

 If you choose to continue, DSET prompts you to enter root password and
proceed.
 If you decide not to proceed, credential-based authentication is not performed.
2. Collecting DSET report by providing username and/or password, DSET will not try for a certificate-based
connection and prompts for a password (if not entered).
Note: The tasks mentioned earlier in Credential-less CIMOM Authentication On Systems Running Linux section are
also applicable for DSET installation only when CIMOMs are pre-installed and operational.
Possible Reasons For Unsuccessful Certificate Connection
The following are the possible reasons for unsuccessful certificate connection:
• DSET client certificate has expired. By default, the certificate is valid for one year from the time
of generation.
• A particular version of operating system or CIMOM does not support certificate-based
Authentication.
• DSET does not perform the certificate-based connections because there are known issues with
a particular version of operating system or CIMOM for certificate-based authentication.
• DSET client certificate or CIMOM Trust Store is corrupted.
Limitations
The following are the limitations:
• The credential-less authentication does not work on ESX. Therefore, DSET requires the
credentials to run on ESX.
• For credential-less authentication, the minimum supported version of Tog-pegasus is 2.11.0 and
that of SFCB is 1.3.11. In case, the server has CIMOM versions earlier than the versions specified,
you will be prompted for a password.
Installation Instructions
For instructions on installation, advanced command-line installation, and error codes refer to the DSET
