HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows HP Part Number: 418812-005

Adding users
Create a new user account to sign-in to HP SIM. The account must be valid on the operating system (including
Active Directory on Windows) on the Central Management Server (CMS) and is authenticated by the CMS.
You must know the operating system user account name of the user you are adding, but it is not necessary
to know the password.
To create a new user:
1. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Users, and then click New. The New User
section appears.
2. (Required) In the Sign-in name [on central management server(CMS)] field, enter the operating
system login account name to be used to sign in to HP SIM. This field is required.
Note: The user cannot sign-in to HP SIM if the account is not a valid login. The account is not validated
until the user attempts to sign-in to HP SIM.
3. (Optional) In the Domain (Windows® domain for sign-in name) field, enter the Windows domain
name for the login name if the CMS is running a Windows operating system. If left blank, the CMS
system name is used as the domain.
Note: If the user account was migrated from Insight Manager 7, the Domain (Windows® domain for
login name) field associates a placeholder domain with the user. If the user receives pages, this field
must be edited to include a valid domain on your network.
4. (Optional) In the Full name field, enter the user's full name.
5. (Optional) If you are using Windows, in the Phone field of the Pager Information section, enter the
pager phone number. If the Phone number field is left blank, the paging information is not saved. This
field does not apply to user groups..
6. (Optional) In the E-mail address field, enter the user's e-mail address.
7. In the Cop y all authorizations of this user or [template] field, select a template (administrator-template,
operator-template, or user-template) or sign-in account that already has the predefined authorizations
that you want to assign to the sign-in account you are creating.
8. For user accounts that must be able to create, modify, or delete other accounts in the Central
management server security configuration right section, select User can configure CMS security
access such as creating, modifying or removing other users. If you selected an existing user with
administrative rights or the administrator template in the previous step, this option is automatically
selected.
9. Under the Sign-In IP Address Restrictions section, in the Inclusion ranges field, enter the IP addresses
of the systems you want this user to be able to use as a client browsing this CMS. If you list multiple IP
addresses, separate them with a semicolon (;). Each range is a single IP address or two IP addresses
separated by a dash (-). The IP addresses must be entered in the standard dotted decimal notation, for
example, 15.1.54.133. Any spaces surrounding the semicolons or dashes are ignored. Spaces are
not allowed within a single IP address in the dotted decimal notation. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user
from logging in through a remote system.
Important: If browsing from the CMS, ensure all IP addresses of the CMS are properly included. If
browsing to localhost, ensure the loopback address 127.0.0.1 is also included.
10. In the Exclusion ranges field, enter the IP address of the systems that should be excluded from
management by this user or user group. Use the same format as in the previous step for Inclusion
ranges. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user from logging in through a remote system.
Note: Ensure that your inclusion and exclusion ranges do not overlap.
11. Under the Pager Information section, in the Phone number field, enter the pager phone number of
the user associated with this user account if you are using a Windows operating system. If the Phone
number field is left blank, the paging information is not saved. This field does not apply to user groups.
12. In the PIN number field, enter the PIN number associated with the pager phone number. This field does
not apply to user groups.
13. In the Message length field, select how many characters can be accepted in the paging message from
the dropdown list. This field does not apply to user groups.
