Compatibility information
From the A.02.05 release, HP WBEM Services for HP-UX supports an option that allows a WBEM
Provider (management instrumentation) to run as the user who issued the management request.
Prior to this release, all WBEM Providers executed in a privileged context. With the release of HP
WBEM Services Version A.02.05.02 for HP-UX 11i v3, WBEM Providers will, by default, be
invoked in the context of the user requesting an operation (i.e., “Run-As-Requestor”). This default
setting can break backward compatibility for certain types of providers.
This means that existing providers that run in the user context of the CIM Server can break. To
resolve this situation, you have the following two alternatives:
Alternative 1
To continue running the provider in a privileged context, you need to explicitly register the provider
to run in a “Privileged User” context. This is a configuration file change and does not require a
change to the Provider library. You do not require to recompile/re-link your provider, to continue
running in a privileged context.
To register your provider to run in a “Privileged User ” context, you need to modify the
PG_ProviderModule instance definition in the Provider Registration MOF as follows:
