HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Command Line Interface Guide

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 user name and password for a WBEM credential. This option is used

with -a -p wbem -a -p vme:protocol.

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, Systems Insight

Manager 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 .

-t fc|fcd

Forces the removal of the specified default or global credentials that might be

currently in use by one or more nodes or systems. The fd option completely removes

the default or global credential which might result in the loss of communications

with the associated systems. The fcd option, copies the credential to any system(s)

using the credential first, preserving communications with the systems.

-n nodename

Specify a node name. This should be the fully-qualified name, if available. This

option is used with -a, -r, and -l. If the "@defaultN" type format is used for the

nodename value, then mxnodesecurity assumes that a default or global type

credential is being specified, where the N value indicates a specific default or

global credential as viewed or referenced in a credentials listing –l output.

XML file support

The format used for an XML input file is defined by the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<node name="nodeName"v

</node>

<credential protocol="vme:vcenter" username="userName1" password="userPassword2"

encoded=""/>

</nodelist>

If the CMS detects a formatting error while processing an input file, it does 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.
