About Service Account Credentials
You are asked for service account credentials during the installation of OpenSSH Services for HP
SIM and during a typical installation of HP SIM. The user name and password you provide is for the
user that is installing HP SIM, and this user must have administrative privileges. This user account is
also used for starting HP Systems Insight Manager service.
IMPORTANT: If you change the credentials of the service account you provided, for example the
password, the credential information for the HP Systems Insight Manager service also needs to be
changed. You can change the credential information for the service as described in ”Changing the
Service Account Credentials for the HP Systems Insight Manager Service” on page 15.
IMPORTANT: for the service from the Log On tab (Services window > HP Systems Insight Manager
properties window).
During a typical installation of HP SIM, the Service Account Credentials window appears. The
Domain and Username fields default to the installing account credentials and these cannot be
edited. Enter the Password for the account. Click Next.
IMPORTANT: A user name and password cannot contain a space followed by a double-quote. If
you use this character in your user name or password, you will receive an “Invalid character” error
and not be allowed to sign in.
Changing the Service Account Credentials for the
HP Systems Insight Manager Service
The HP Systems Insight Manager service uses the service account credentials supplied during the
installation. If the service account credentials change, you must make the HP Systems Insight
Manager service aware of these changes. If you do not, the HP Systems Insight Manager service
will not start and you will not be able to use HP SIM.

1. Right-click the HP System Insight Manager service from the services panel.
2. Select Properties from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the Log On tab.
4. Change the password on the Log on tab to match the information for the new credentials.
