As a result, the client is permitted to negotiate with the server during the SSL handshake phase.
The default value of this property is DEFAULT.
The other configurable values are HIGH and LOW.
For more information, see the cimconfig command manpages.
This is not a dynamic property. Hence, it requires a cimserver restart.
Configuring Insight Remote Support (IRS) for WBEM Services
HP WBEM Services version A.02.09.08 and later supports Insight Remote Support (IRS) configuration
on HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3 operating systems.
To configure root privileges for IRS users on an HP-UX system, perform the following steps:
1. Install HP WBEM Services version A.02.09.08 or later on HP-UX 11i v3 and 11i v2 operating
systems.
2. Edit the IRS configuration file located at: /var/opt/wbem/hp_irs_users.conf on an
HP-UX system and enter the required user name. By default, the hp_irs user name is added
in the IRS configuration file.
NOTE: Only system administrators can modify or create user names in the IRS configuration
file. Ensure that the user name exists on the HP-UX system before configuring in the IRS
configuration file.
3. Stop WBEM Services.
cimserver –s
4. Restart WBEM Services.

NOTE: Users configured in the IRS configuration file can perform WBEM operations with
root privileges. However, these users can still continue to have system privileges as defined
in the HP-UX /etc/passwd file.
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.
