1 HP WBEM Services Version A.02.
Announcement The following information is for Version A.02.07 of HP WBEM Services. HP WBEM Services for is available from http://software.hp.com. As the HP-UX implementation of the DMTF WBEM standard, the HP WBEM Services product enables management solutions that deliver increased control of enterprise resources at reduced cost.
HP WBEM Services makes it easier for software developers to create management applications that manage HP-UX systems, and makes HP Servers and workstations easier for system administrators to manage. The following version of the HP WBEM Services product is now being made available: For HP-UX: WBEMSvcs A.02.07.02 What's in This Version HP WBEM Services for HP-UX version A.02.07.02 is a minor update to the HP WBEM Services A.02.07 currently released with HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2 and 11i v3.
"unlock" operations within the same command ensures that the repository will not be accidentally left in a locked state. • Indication Subscription Management (cimsub) - Provides a command line interface to manage CIM indication subscriptions on the local CIM Server. Refer to the man page for more information. The new command would support enabling, disabling, or removing a subscription, display of selected subscription information, as well as removal and display of filters and handlers.
Product Documentation • • HP WBEM Services Administrator’s Guide, Second Edition B8465-90017 available from http://docs.hp.com/en/netsys.html. Release Notes for this version and for previous versions of HP WBEM Services are available from http://docs.hp.com/en/netsys.html. After installation, refer to the man pages for your system. Man pages are summarized in the Administrator’s Guide. For more information about DMTF, WBEM, and CIM standards, go to http://www.dmtf.org.
SSL Support With HTTPS connections enabled, HP WBEM Services uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for all communications, with server-side certificates that are trusted by the management application. HP WBEM Services uses OpenSSL to support HTTPS connections. NOTE: OpenSSL is an open source cryptography toolkit that implements the network protocols and related cryptography standards of SSL v2/v3 and TLS (Transport Layer Security). For more information about OpenSSL, go to http://www.openssl.org.
Table 1-2 Remote User Authentication Methods Certificate Based Authentication (CBA) HTTP Basic Authentication Description The cimserver requests the client certificate while HTTPS connection is in progress. Using a request/challenge mechanism and authenticating the user-supplied username and password through Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM). Benefits and Considerations • Requires a one-time server configuration.

For more information about the wbemexec command, see the wbemexec man page. wbemexec uses trust store for server certificate verification. Be sure to import the certificate in /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem from the system where the CIM Server is running to the client system’s trust store. For more information about certificates, see Importing Server Certificates into the Trust Store, below.
1. — Delete the existing /var/opt/wbem/server_2048.pemand/or /var/opt/wbem/server.pem files and use the certificates in /etc/opt/hp/sslshare directory. OR 2. — Overwrite the new certificate in /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem and the private key in /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/file.pem with the existing certificate and key in either /var/opt/wbem/server_2048.pem or /var/opt/wbem/server.pem files. Before overwriting/etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem and /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/file.
NOTE: The wbemexec command uses the file /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/client.pem as its trust store. Import the server certificates for this client into the /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/client.pem file. Standards Conformance This version of the HP WBEM Services product complies with the following standards: • • • • CIM Operations over HTTP, Version 1.1 Representation of CIM in XML, Version 2.1 CIM Infrastructure Specification, Version 2.3 CIM Schema, Version 2.13.
NOTE: As updates to OpenSSL become available and installed over time, the HP WBEM Services cimserver process must be shutdown and restarted in order to run against any new version of OpenSSL. For more information on shutting down and restarting the cimserver, see the HP WBEM Services System Administrator’s Guide. • • For HP-UX 11i v1 install Strong Random Number Generator depot KRNG11i.

Table 1-8 Defects Fixed in HP WBEM Services A.02.07.02 (continued) Identifier Description QXCR1000814657 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.
WBEM Service clients. The following warning message is logged in the swagent.log file: Warning: Cannot find the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for this system, SSL certificates for WBEM Services are created with the short hostname. Correct this either by editing the /etc/hosts file or by making the appropriate DNS registration. If not corrected, the created certificates may not be acceptable to the WBEMService clients that expect a FQDN in the common name field of the SSL certificate.
• WBEM Services. The usePAMAuthentication configuration option has been obsoleted and is no longer supported. What is the workaround or available patch? You must do the following: 1. Before updating the WBEM Services, check if the usePAMAuthentication configuration option is present in the following WBEM configuration files: /var/opt/wbem/cimserver_current.conf /var/opt/wbem/cimserver_planned.conf 2.
