User Group Authorization
Chapter 6 65
User Group Authorization
User group authorization consists of establishing the already
authenticated user is a member of one of the configured groups in the
authorizedUserGroups configuration property. If the user is not
authorized, the client request is rejected without processing and a
authorization failure message is sent back.
A user with root permission (uid 0) on the local system can use the
cimconfig command to set the HP WBEM Services
authorizedUserGroups property to the one or more user groups on the
local system.
NOTE A user with root permission (uid 0) on the local system always has
authorization to access CIM resources.
When authorizedUserGroup property is set to valid group name(s) on the
system and a user who is not a member of the configured group(s)
submits a request, the following user error is displayed. "User <user
name> is not authorized to access CIM data."
For more information about setting authorized user groups, see the man
page for the cimconfig command.
