HP WBEM Services Version A.02.07 Release Notes, March 2009

Table 1-8 Defects Fixed in HP WBEM Services A.02.07.04 (continued)
ResolutionDescriptionIdentifier
The script
/opt/wbem/sbin/gen_wbem_certs is
provided to re-create the correct certificates for
HP WBEM Services. The note in the
swagent.log file also contains a message to
run this script when a problem is encountered.
When a system is ignited from a CD/DVD
media, the certificate is generated with the
following values:
commonName=localhost. When
certificates from two such systems are
added to the cimtrust database on the
server, the second certificate is not loaded
into the cimtrust database. An error
message indicates that the certificate
already exists.
In addition, when the host name is not
configured, the value of the certificate is
set to localhost, by default. These
certificates cannot be added to the trust
store of similar systems, as it conflicts with
the certificates that already exist, which is
configured with the same values -
commonName=localhost.

Irrespective of the umask settings on the system,
the cimserver_current.conf file is created
with the proper permissions and the cimserver
starts successfully.
In version A.02.07, the system umask
settings can impact the start-up behavior
of the CIMserver.
When it starts, the CIMserver renames
the cimserver_current.conf file as
cimserver_current.conf.bak file,
and then copies the contents of
cimserver_planned.conf file into the
cimserver_current.conf file.
This is done by creating the
cimserver_current.conf file. The file
permissions of the
cimserver_current.conf file depend
on the umask settings. If the umask
settings is set to 077 or higher, then the
cimserver_current.conf is created
with following permissions:
-rw------- 1 root root 1099 Apr
14 16:55 cimserver_current.conf
With WBEM A.02.07 version, the
cimservermain process which runs as
a normal cimsrvr user fails to read this
cimserver_current.conf file. As a
result, the CIMserver fails to start and
the following error message is displayed:
PGS10033: THE CIM SERVER IS NOT
STARTED: PGS00211:FILE
/var/opt/wbem/cimserver_current.conf
CANNOT BE READ
NOTE: On Trusted Systems running
HP-UX 11i v2 or later, the system
umask(1) is restricted by the
SEC_DEFAULT_MODE setting. This results
in a default system umask(1) of 0077.
