HP WBEM Services Version A.02.07 Release Notes, September 2008, Second Edition

Table 1-8 Defects Fixed in HP WBEM Services A.02.07.02 (continued)
DescriptionIdentifier
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.

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.
