Credential-less CIMOM Authentication On Systems Running Linux
When installing DSET or collecting the DSET report using DSET version 3.5.0 and earlier on systems running Linux, you
must enter password at the command line interface. If the credentials are correct and the CIMOM (SFCB or
TogPegasus) authentication is successful, the installation or report collection process is successfully completed.
From DSET version 3.5.1 and later, DSET supports single sign-on for the logged-in user. Single sign-on allows you to run
DSET without entering the password. CIMOM accepts a client certificate while establishing the HTTPS connection. If
the certificate is signed by a trusted authority, a network connection is started. During installation, DSET generates and
deploys its own certificate and key which is used later. The access to certificate and key is limited only to the root
user.
A brief description about the DSET installation or report collection process:
1. Collecting DSET report without providing any username or password: DSET tries for CIMOM connections through
certificates.
a. If the connection is successful, the report collection continues without prompting for a password.
b. If the connection is unsuccessful, DSET asks whether or not you want to provide password and continue.
