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
enableHttpsConnection=true
enableHttpConnection=false
4. Based on the above output, set the following variables in the CIM planned configuration:
# cimconfig –s enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=true –p
# cimconfig –s enableNamespaceAuthorization=true –p
5. Stop and start the CIM Server to set the configuration changes in the CIM current configuration:
# cimserver –s
# cimserver
6. Verify the settings in the CIM current configuration:
# cimconfig –l -c
Example Output:
sslClientVerificationMode=disabled
enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=true
shutdownTimeout=30
authorizedUserGroups=
enableRemoteprivilegedUserAccess=true
enableHttpsConnection=true
enableNamespaceAuthroization=true
