11.2 Changing the OpenWBEM
CIMOM Configuration
When OpenWBEM CIMOM (owcimomd) starts, it reads it run-time configuration from
the
openwbem.conf
file. The
openwbem.conf
file is located in the
/etc/
openwbem
directory.
Any setting that has the options commented out with a semicolon (;) or pound sign (#)
uses the default setting.
When making changes to this file, you can use any text editor that saves the file in a
format that is native to the platform you are using.
You can change any of the settings in the
openwbem.conf
file. This section discusses
the following configuration settings:
• Section 11.2.1, “Changing the Authentication Configuration” (page 234)
• Section 11.2.2, “Changing the Certificate Configuration” (page 242)
