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
of user who has access to data. The “read=” and “write=” entries in the file set the user accounts
required for access, where:
•
0 = no access
•
1 = anonymous
•
2 = user
•
3 = operator
•
4 = administrator
Changing these entries changes the security level.
