information, see “Setting trust relationships”.
Web-Based Enterprise Management
For HP-UX, WBEM is included in the operating system install. For Linux Itanium Processor Family (IPF), if
WBEM is not installed, it must be manually installed. Go to the HP Software Depot (http://
www.software.hp.com) to download. The WBEM download from the openPegasus website does not include
the hardware specific data for HP SIM to manage Linux x86 systems.
NOTE: Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the implementation of WBEM from Microsoft.
NOTE: A CIMOM acts as the interface for communication between WBEM providers and management
applications such as HP SIM.
The CMS must have the correct credentials to authenticate to WBEM and WMI. There are two ways to
authenticate client certificates:
• Basic authentication to WBEM Services or WMI using user name and password.
• Using the CMS certificate to authenticate is available only for HP-UX WBEM Services 02.05.00, which
supports client certificate authentication. Use the Configure or Repair Agents Use an HP SIM WBEM
certificate (good for 10 years) rather than username/password to manage the system option
to deploy a WBEM certificate to the managed system and is only valid for HP-UX systems.
