Creating WBEMUsers
HP SIM requests the root/password be added to WBEM protocol logon for each HP-UX managed system,
but it is possible to use a non-privileged account or, if using WBEMA.02.09.08 or later, to create a
privileged user in the Insight Remote configuration file.
If using HP-UX11i v1, v2, or v3, and a version of WBEMServices earlier than A.02.09.08, see "Creating
Non-Privileged Users with cimauth" below.
If using HP-UX11i v2 or v3 and WBEMServices A.02.09.08 or later, see "Creating WBEM Privileged
Users with WBEM A.02.09.08 or Later" on next page.
Creating Non-Privileged Users with cimauth
To set up a non-privileged account on an HP-UX managed system, complete the following steps:
1. Create a user or use an existing non-privileged user. The specified username must represent a valid
HP-UX user on the local host. In this example, create a user named hpirs, assign the user to the
users group, and set a user password:
#useradd –g users hpirs
#passwd hpirs (when prompted, provide and confirm the password)
Use this user and password in HP SIM for WBEM communication for this managed system.
2. Review the current CIM configuration, as follows:
#cimconfig –l –p
Example Output:
sslClientVerificationMode=disabled
enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=false
shutdownTimeout=30
authorizedUserGroups=
enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=false
enableHttpsConnection=true
enableHttpConnection=false
3. Based on the above output, set the following variables in the CIM planned configuration:
#cimconfig –s enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=true –p
