1 HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.08 Release Notes Announcement The following information is for HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.08: HP WBEM Services for HP-UX is available from http://software.hp.com. HP-UX implements the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) WBEM standard and this enables HP WBEM Services to deliver increased control of enterprise resources at reduced cost.
HP WBEM Services for HP-UX Version A.02.09 is based on the Open Pegasus 2.9 source base and CIM Schema 2.17.1. HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.08 supports an enhancement for Insight Remote Support (IRS) for HP WBEM Services. With this enhancement, you can perform WBEM operations using non-root user privileges. For more information, see the HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide. Following are the key differences between the HP WBEM Services Version A.02.07 and A.02.

NOTE: OpenSSL is an open source cryptography toolkit that implements the network protocols and related cryptography standards of SSL v2 and v3, and TLS (Transport Layer Security). HP WBEM Services supports only SSL v3 and TLS protocols. For more information, see OpenSSL website at http://www.openssl.org. On the HTTPS port, the CIM clients uses SSL to establish connections with the CIM Server and to send CIM requests.
you must edit the/etc/pam.conf file and add a "wbem" service entry. See the following example. For additional information, see the pam(3) and pam.conf(4) manpages. # # Example of /etc/pam.conf file with WBEM services (using LDAP) # # Authentication management wbem auth required libpam_hpsec.so.1 wbem auth sufficient libpam_unix.so.1 wbem auth required libpam_ldap.so.1 try_first_pass # Account management wbem account required libpam_hpsec.so.1 wbem account sufficient libpam_unix.so.
The wbemexec command uses the trust store for server certificate verification. Be sure to import the certificate in the /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem file from the system where the CIM Server is running to the client system’s trust store. For more information about the wbemexec command, see the wbemexec manpage. For more information about certificates, see “Importing server certificates to trust store” (page 10).
Importing server certificates to trust store CIM client applications must maintain a trust store in the .pem file. The CIM client applications must import the certificates stored in /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem to a trust store file on the client machine from various CIM Server machines (ones the client wants to connect to). With C++ CIM client libraries, the trust store should be in PEM format.
NOTE: Unless otherwise stated, the tables indicate support for the listed and later versions of WBEM providers that are compatible with HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.08. This version of HP WBEM Services can work with earlier versions of the providers that are already installed in your environment. However, these earlier versions are not tested with HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.08.

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.
NOTE: After the OpenSSL updates are installed, 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 Guide.

cimservermain, and cimserverd. The cimserverd process is a daemon process that monitors cimserver to ensure it remains available. WARNING! HP recommends not to disable cimserver at startup. Doing so, will impact other HP products such as; iCOD/iCAP, HP SIM, VSE, and System Fault Management, as these HP solutions depend on HP WBEM Services (cimserver) to be running.

NOTE: If you do not manually add the group and the user before installing HP WBEM Services, the installation scripts add a group and user using locally available IDs, returned by useradd(1M) and groupadd(1M), which may already be in use on the network. For systems using NIS the problem is encountered when HP WBEM Services is installed as part of a custom bundle that requires a system reboot or if NIS is stopped for any other reason whilst the HP WBEM Services installation is performed.
