Security

The HP Insight Management Agents allow SNMP sets for some system parameters. This capability
requires security that includes three users namely; Administrator, Operator and User. On
Windows and Linux operating systems only administrator can set SNMP sets. This can be
achieved by logging to System Management Home page using administrative access privileges."

NOTE:

These are the only user accounts available in this release, and they cannot be changed

except for the password. Under Tru64 UNIX, the account names, user names, and passwords
are lowercase characters.

The Web-Enabled HP Management Agents for Servers for NetWare is located in the
WEBAGENT.INI

file in the SYS:\SYSTEM\CPQMGMT\WEBAGENT directory. It specifies the level

required for access, where:

0 = no access

1 = anonymous

2 = user

3 = operator

4 = administrator

Changing these entries changes the security level.

other than those from Microsoft and Linux, anonymous access to information is available without
