HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Command Line Interface Guide

credential in Systems Insight Manager database. If the credential exists in the database, the
credential is deleted.
If you attempt to remove a global credential that is currently in use, the CLI displays an error
message, indicating that the credential was not removed. You can use [-x fd] to forcefully
remove an in use credential. However, removing an in use credential might interrupt
communications between the system and Systems Insight Manager. To prevent issues, you
can copy the credential as a node/system credential to the node/system using the credential
preserving communication to Systems Insight Manager.
◦ To forcefully remove a global credential without copying the credential, use the -x option
with the following argument:
mxnodesecurity -r -p protoName [-x {forceDelete | fd}]
mxnodesecurity -r -p protoName -n @default1 [-x {forceDelete | fd}]
◦ To first copy the credential, then forcefully remove the global credential, use the -x option
with the following argument:
mxnodesecurity -r -p protoName [-x {forceCopyDelete | fd}]
mxnodesecurity -r -p protoName -n @default1 [-x {forceCopyDelete | fd}]
If you omit the system name during a remove operation, all default/global credentials for the
supplied protocol are removed from the Systems Insight Manager credentials database.
• mxnodesecurity -l [-p protocol ] [-n nodename ]
The list option enables you to list both default or global and node or system type credentials
stored in the Systems Insight Manager credentials database. You can specify a protocol or a
system name to filter the list results.
If the list option is used with the protocol option, all systems with credentials of the specified
protocol are listed. If the list option is used with the system option, the system is located, and
all credentials for that system, regardless of protocol, are listed. If the system and protocol
options are used together, the system will be displayed only if credentials for the specified
protocol exist.
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 does not make any changes
to the system security repository. The CMS will interrupt processing and issue an error message.
See mxnodesecurity(4) for more XML usage information.
