Description
The mxauth command is used to manage authorizations. These associations between users, user
group name, toolboxes, and nodes or node groups can be added or removed only by administrative
rights users. Any HP SIM user can list authorizations. Authorizations formed from users, toolboxes,
and nodes are called node authorizations.
• mxauth -a|r -u username -U usergroupname -R toolboxname -n nodename
This command enables administrative rights users to add or remove one node authorization.
Asterisks are supported for the nodename parameter. HP SIM recognizes the asterisk as a
wildcard character to indicate adding the node authorization for all currently configured
nodes. When using the wildcard character on the command line, enclose it in quotation marks
to prevent the shell interpreter from preprocessing it.
• mxauth -a|r -u username -U usergroupname -R toolboxname -g groupname
This command enables administration rights users to add or remove one node group
authorization.
Asterisks are supported for the groupname parameter. HP SIM recognizes the asterisk as
a wildcard character to indicate adding the node group authorization for all currently
configured node groups. When using the wildcard character on the command line, enclose
it in quotation marks to prevent the shell interpreter from preprocessing it.
• mxauth -a|r -f filename
This command enables administrative rights users to add or remove multiple authorizations
by specifying an input file containing node and node group authorizations. The file must be
formatted in the required XML format. See XML file support, Examples, and the
mxauth(4)manpage for more information.
• mxauth [-l t]
This command lists information about one or more authorizations in simple or tabular format.
When you run mxauth with no options, the output lists all authorization names in simple form
with the authorization fields separated by colons (:).
Node authorizations for both Users and UserGroups are listed in the following format. Any
User Group authorizations are prefixed with “U:”.
