On a Windows CMS, if you are not a member of the local Administrators group, add the options
--user username and --pass password when running any of the listed commands. For
example, to list information about one or more authorizations in compact or table form, enter
mxauth [-lt] --user username --pass password.
On a Linux or HP-UX CMS, you can add the options --user username and --pass
password to a command in order to run it under a different account than the one that is logged
in. For example, if you have limited configuration rights, and you want to remove multiple
authorizations by specifying an input file, which requires administrative rights, enter mxauth
-a|r -f filename --user username --pass password and use the login information
of a full-configuration-rights user.
Quotation marks
When you enter a CLI command with a string that includes spaces or special characters, you must
enclose the string in quotation marks. For example: mxreport -l -x report -n "Inventory
- Servers".
Logging out of the CLI
After you are finished with an SSH session, log out from HP SIM to prevent someone from accessing
your active session.
To log out from the CLI, log off of the CMS or the Secure Shell (SSH) client application.
