• cimservera (HP-UX only)- cimservera is a standalone process that
provides the cimserver with PAM Authentication services.
cimservera is controlled solely by the cimserver, and as such has no
user interface.
• cimserverd (HP-UX only)- HP WBEM Services’ way to
automatically restart itself in case of failure. cimserverd is not
intended to be used by operators.
Users can, however set the interval for cimserverd. To see how to do
that, read the cimserverd man page.
Users start (and halt) CIM Server with the cimserver command. If
the CIM Server was halted by an operator with the cimserver
command, cimserverd cannot automatically restart it.
• init_repository - used by HP WBEM Services and providers, this
script initializes the repository.
If the repository is moved or corrupted, you should first try to restore
it from backup. If that does not work, you use the init_repository
script to restore it to the state it was in at installation. You will lose
everything that was entered after install, so you will need to
re-install any providers you added.
You need root permission to use init_repository. You can use it
only when CIM Server is running.
• openssl - generate and manage x509 certificates. Use openssl to
manage various cryptography functions of OpenSSL’s crypto library
from the shell.
HP WBEM Services includes a limited version of the full OpenSSL
toolkit. OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1)
network protocols and related cryptography standards required by
them. For more about OpenSSL, go to
http://www.openssl.org/docs.
The openssl man page on your system may have a description of all
the OpenSSL options. However, HP WBEM Services only supports
the following options:
— ca - a minimal CA application.
— ciphers - SSL cipher display and cipher list tool
— gendsa - generates a DSA private key from a set of parameters
