parameters and can be copied into the cim.extension.parameters file and used as a
template.
Restricting the Users Who Can Discover the Host
The -users parameter provides greater security by restricting access. When you use the
management server to discover the host, provide a user name that was specified in the -users
parameter.
For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover a HP-UX host, but you do
not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to another
valid HP-UX user account that has less privileges, for example jsmythe. First, you would add the user
to the parameters file. You would then logon to the management server, access the Discovery page,
and provide the user name and password for jsmythe. Only the user name and password for
jsmythe can be used to discover the HP-UX host.
Follow these steps to add a user to the parameters file:
1. Go to the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory.
2. Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and provide the following line:
-users myname
where myname is a valid HP-UX user name.
NOTE: You can provide multiple users by separating them with a colon. For example
-users myname:jsymthe.
3. Save the file.
4. Restart the CIM Extension for your changes to take effect.
NOTE: The CIM Extension looks for parameters in the cim.extension.parameters file
whenever it starts, such as when it is started manually or when the host is rebooted.
Changing the Port Number
The CIM Extension uses port 4673 by default. If the port is already used, follow these steps to
change the port the CIM Extension will access:
1. Go to the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory.
2. Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and provide the following line:
-port 1234
where 1234 is the new port for the CIM Extension
3. Save the file.
4. Restart the CIM Extension for your changes to take effect.
