HP Version Control 7.0 Installation and Configuration Guide

1. Identify the versions of the HP VCA's that are installed that are being reconfigured to use
operating system authentication.
2. Determine whether you intend to update all of the systems with HP VCA's installed with ProLiant
Support Pack 7.20 or Integrity Support Pack 3.20.
3. From the system where the HP VCRM is installed, create a local user account and user group
specifically for version control use. If the installed HP VCA's are 2.0.7.10 or later, any account
name can be used, for example, vcadmin. If earlier versions of the HP VCA are installed and
you are not planning to upgrade the HP VCA, you must use an account name that matches
one of the non-administrator accounts the earlier versions of the HP SMH defined, for example,
operator or user.
By default, the HP VCA is unable to login with an account named administrator using operating
system authentication, to prevent an accidental lockout of the local administrator account.
To add operating system accounts:
1. Select Start→Settings→Control Panel.
2. Double-click Users and Passwords. The Users and Passwords dialog box appears.
3. From the Users tab, click Add. The Add New User dialog box appears.
4. In the User name field, enter a user name for this account.
5. In the Full name field, enter a full name for this account.
6. In the Description field, enter a brief description of this account.
7. Click Next. The Add New User dialog box appears.
8. In the Password field, enter a password for this account.
9. In the Confirm Password field, re-enter the password exactly as you entered it in the
Password field.
10. Click Next. The Add New User dialog box appears asking you to indicate what level of
access you want to grant this user.
11. Select the appropriate access level for this user:
• Standard User
Users can modify the computer and install programs, but cannot read files that belong
to other users.
• Restricted User
Users can operate the computer and save documents, but cannot install programs
or make potentially damaging changes to the system files and settings.
• Other
This option enables you to specify a custom level.
◦ Administrators
Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain.
This level is required to connect from the HP VCA to the HP VCRM.
◦ Backup Operators
Backup Operators can override security restrictions for the sole purpose of
backing up or restoring files.
◦ Guests
Guests have the same access as members of the Users group by default, except
for the Guest account which is further restricted.
