Configuring HP Systems Insight Manager using the Options menu
Procedure 3-1 Configuring the managed systems using the Options menu
1. Configure the protocol settings.
Protocol settings define how HP Systems Insight Manager communicates with the managed systems. To
configure these settings, Select Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings.
2. Add users and user groups.
NOTE: Users that have been added to the CMS cannot view or manage systems until authorizations
have been configured for them.
NOTE: HP-UX and Linux-provided command line tools, such as ls and df, are run as root by default.
For security reasons, you might want them to run as a specific user to avoid permitting unintended
capabilities to a user.
To add users, select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Users, and then click New.
To add user groups, select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Users, and then click
New Group.
3. Add toolboxes.
Toolboxes , define the set of tools to which a user has access. To add toolboxes, select
Options→Security→Users and Authorizations→Toolboxes, and then click New.
4. Add authorizations
Authorizations give the user access to view and manage systems. Each authorization specifies a user
or user group, a toolbox, and a system or system group. The specific set of tools that can be run against
a system is specified in the assigned toolbox.
It is important that you plan which systems each user is going to manage and which specific set of tools
the users are authorized to execute against the managed systems. A user with no toolbox authorizations
on a system cannot view or manage that system.
Authorizations are additive. If a user is authorized on Toolbox1 on a system and is also authorized for
Toolbox2 on the same system, the user is authorized for all tools in both Toolbox1 and Toolbox2 on
that system. Similarly, a user authorized for the All Tools toolbox needs no other toolbox authorization
on that system because the All Tools toolbox always includes all tools.
