HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Command Line Interface reference guide

XML file support
This command requires the following format for XML input files:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<nodelist>
<node name="nodeName"
<credential protocol="wbem" username="userName" password="userPassword" encoded =""
</node>
</nodelist>
If the CMS detects a formatting error while processing an input file, it will not make any changes to the node
security repository. The CMS will interrupt processing and issue an error message. See mxnodesecurity(4)
for more XML usage information.
Options
-a
Add or modify credentials in the HP SIM credentials database. This option must be used
with -f or -p and -c.
-r
Remove credentials from the HP SIM credentials database. This option must be used with
-f or -p.
-l
List node security credentials on the screen. This option can be used with -p and -n options.
-f filename
Use an XML file to specify the credentials to add, modify, or remove.
-p protocol
Specify a protocol such as WBEM or SNMP. Credentials of the specified type are displayed
on the screen. This option is used with -a, -r, and -l. Standard HP SIM protocols are
"snmp", "wbem", "ws-man", "ssh" and "sign-in". The mxnodesecurity command interprets
"wsman" or "ws-man" on the command line as the same protocol. The mxnodesecurity
command interprets "signin" or "sign-in" on the command line as the same protocol. A
"sign-in" credential is a protocol independent credential used to sign into the managed
system. The mxnodesecurity command also accepts any name for a protocol name.
-c username:password
Specify a username and password for a WBEM credential. This option is used with -a -p
protocol/wbem.
NOTE: Be careful when entering passwords in the CLI. This makes them available in the command history,
the process list during execution, and the audit log if the command is executed as part of a task. Be sure to
clear your command history or use alternate methods for specifying passwords, for example, a prompt or
input file.
-c readname:writename
Specify a community read name and community write name for an SNMP credential. This
option is used with -a -p snmp.
-t on|off
Turns on or off the Try Others option. This option is turned on, HP SIM attempts to use other
credentials for the system if the specified credentials fail. If this option is not specified, it
defaults to on. This option is used in conjunction with -a-a .
