Security

The HP Insight Management Agent allows SNMP sets for some system parameters. This capability requires security that includes the three predefined users. For agents running on Microsoft and Linux operating systems there are no default passwords.  On a fresh install the administrator password, the operator  password and user passwords will be configured during installation.  For agents running on other operating systems there are default passwords defined in the following table.

Account

User Name

Password

anonymous

 

 

user

user

public

operator

operator

operator

administrator

administrator

administrator

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.

Anonymous access to information is available without logging in when the Device Home Page is launched for the first time on operating systems other than those from Microsoft and Linux.

Deploying the Configurations to Servers Running  Microsoft  Windows

On Microsoft Operating Systems, anonymous access is disabled by default but can be turned back on by the user through the Options link on the System Management Home Page.

There are three types of data:

The WEBAGENT.INI file located in the system_root\cpqmgmt\webagent directory as well as UnixWare 7 webagent.ini in the /opt/compaq/webagent.

Deploying the Configurations to Servers Running

Tru64 UNIX

Under Tru64 UNIX, the location of the WEBAGENT.INI file depends on whether the Management Agents for Tru64 UNIX were installed as part of the base operating system or as an upgrade. You can determine the location of the WEBAGENT.INI file by issuing the following command:

# ps -ef | grep -i cpqthresh_mib | grep -v grep

The command output will resemble one of the following lines:

root 12278 1 0.0 ... /usr/sbin/cpqthresh_mib

root 12278 1 0.0 ... /var/opt/CPQIM100/bin/cpqthresh_mib

Use the path name displayed in the output of the ps command to locate the WEBAGENT.INI file on your system as follows:

The WEBAGENT.INI file is located in the directory /var/im/webagent if the pathname is /usr/sbin/cpqthresh_mib.

The WEBAGENT.INI file is located in the directory /var/opt/CPQIMddd/web/im/webagent if the pathname is /var/opt/CPQIMddd/bin/cpqthresh_mib.

The value ddd indicates the version of the Management Agents installed on the system.

The Web Agent service must be stopped and restarted for any changes to take effect for Tru64 UNIX operating systems.

Deploying the Configurations to Servers Running Linux

The configurations setting for the Management HTTP Server are stored in three files. The passwords for the Management HTTP Server is stored in:

/var/spool/compaq/wbem/CPQHMMD.ACL

The configuration set for the Management HTTP Server; that existed up through version 3.x are stored in the following location:

/var/spool/compaq/wbem/homepage/cpqhmmd.ini

The configuration settings for the Management HTTP Server that were introduced in version 4.x and later are stored in the following location:

/var/spool/compaq/wbem/homepage/cpqhmmdx.ini

In order to deploy the Management HTTP Server configuration to other servers, copy the corresponding ACL file and INI file(s) listed above.

Anonymous access to information is available without logging in when the Device Homepage is launched for the first time.

There are three types of data: Default (read only), Sets (read/write), and Reboot (read/write). The *.INI file located in /opt/compaq/webagent are the configuration files used by the Web-enabled HP Insight Management Agents.

Deploying the Configurations to Servers Running NetWare

In NetWare, the WEBAGENT.INI is located at the sys:\system\cpqmgmt\webagent directory, specifies the level of user that 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, and 4 = Administrator. Changing these entries changes the security.

NOTE: The Web Agent service must be stopped and restarted for any changes to take effect for NetWare.

For NetWare do not modify anything except the read/write levels to change the security.
