Create WBEM Users

Insight RS requires the WBEM Services user and password to communicate with the HP-UX monitored

device. You can create a non-privileged user or, if using WBEM A.02.09.08 or later, create a privileged

user in the Insight Remote configuration file.

If using HP-UX 11i 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 page 89.

For details on SysFaultMgmt, including defining WBEM user/password accounts on HP-UX, refer to the

HP-UX System Fault Management Administration Guide at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-diagnostics-

sfm-docs.

Creating Non-Privileged Users with cimauth

It is possible to use a non-privileged account for WBEM communication. Create a user or use an existing

non-privileged user. The specified username must represent a valid HP-UX user on the local host.

To create a non-privileged account on an HP-UX monitored device, complete the following steps:

1. Create a user, hpirs in this example, and assign the user to the users group:

# useradd –g users hpirs

2. Set the password for user hpirs:

# passwd hpirs (when prompted, provide and confirm the password)

3. Review the current CIM configuration, as follows:

# cimconfig –l –p

Example Output:

sslClientVerificationMode=disabled

enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=false

shutdownTimeout=30

authorizedUserGroups=

enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=false
