Enable Authentication
The following OpenPegasus properties have to be set as described in this section. Otherwise, the Broadcom CIM Provider will
not work properly. Ensure the following are set before launching BACS and connecting to the provider.
Start CIM server if it is not already started. Then, set the following:
cimconfig -s enableAuthentication=true -p
cimconfig -s enableNamespaceAuthorization=false -p
cimconfig -s httpAuthType=Basic -p
cimconfig -s passwordFilePath=cimserver.passwd -p
cimconfig -s forceProviderProcesses=false -p
If you want root user to connect remotely:
cimconfig -s enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true -p
User configuration with privilege: The Linux system users are used for OpenPegasus authentication. The systems users have
to be added to OpenPegasus using
cimuser
to connect via BACS:
cimuser -a -u
<username>
-w
<password>
Example:
cimuser -a -u root -w linux1
