HP-UX WBEM Services Administrator Guide, March 2011

Describes the required level of support for certificate-based authentication. This property is
only used when enableHttpsConnection is set to true.
• idleConnectionTimeout
If set to a positive integer, this value specifies a minimum timeout value for idle client
connections. If set to zero, idle client connections do not time out. A client connection is
considered idle when it is not in the process of sending a request and the CIM Server is not
processing a request from that connection.
• enableAuditLog
Set to true or false. The default value is set to false as of A.02.09 version of HP WBEM Services.
The value true means additional information such as AuditType(Authentication) ,
AuditSubType(Local Authentication, Basic Authentication, and so on), AuditEvent(startup,
shutdown, and so on) , log level (WARNING, INFORMATION, and so on), user (root, guest,
and so on) and system IP address is logged in the syslog.log file.
• socketWriteTimeout
Specifies the number of seconds that the CIM Server waits for a client connection to be ready
and receive data. If the CIM Server is unable to write to a connection within this time, then
the connection is closed.
Maintaining the repository
HP WBEM Services stores definitions of the data on managed objects and their providers in its
repository. The location of these repository files vary depending on the version of HP WBEM
Services. The following information is valid for versions prior to HP WBEM Services A.02.09.
The repository files located in /var/opt/wbem/repository/ for HP-UX are created as a
by-product of the HP WBEM Services installation. Do not delete or move these files.
Four namespaces are installed with HP WBEM Services. Others can be added by clients and
providers. The four namespaces that are automatically installed are:
• root: The root namespace exists to conform to the DMTF specifications.
• root/cimv2: The standard CIM schemas go here. Also, the schemas for the bundled
providers.
• root/PG_Interop: This is for provider registration. This space is reserved exclusively for
providers, and all providers must register here. Fore more information, see the cimprovider
manpage.
• root/PG_Internal: This space is reserved for use by HP WBEM Services only.
You must schedule frequent backups of the repository. If the repository is moved or lost or corrupted,
you must restore the files you backed up. To take backups, HP recommends that you use the
cimrepoarchive command.
If you cannot restore the files, the init_repository script will restore the files to the way they
were when you first installed HP WBEM Services. The default providers that installed with HP
WBEM Services will be intact. However, any managed objects, providers, or namespaces that
you added since you first installed HP WBEM Services will be removed. You will need to re-register
(or re-install) all the added providers.
To run the init_repository script, enter the following commands:
1. Shut down the CIM Server.
cimserver -s
2. Move the repository directory.
mv /var/opt/wbem/repository
