Known problems and workarounds
Following known problems and workarounds are for this release.
Users and groups of HP WBEM Services conflict with users and groups of NIS, LDAP and other
network services
What is the problem?
During installation, HP WBEM Services creates a user cimsrvr and a group cimsrvr. If you
are using Network Information Services (NIS), Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) or any other network service for managing user and group accounts, there is
a possibility that the user ID (UID) and the group ID (GID) created for HP WBEM Services is already
in use by other users. The duplication of user and group IDs results in a change in file ownership
and can stop applications working correctly.
IMPORTANT: This issue is only applicable for HP WBEM Services A.02.07 and later versions.
What is the workaround?
For systems using LDAP or other network services, before installing HP WBEM Services, you must
manually add a local cimsrvr user and group using a unique UID and GID. You must first
determine the available reserved IDs for the group (for example 130) and for the user (for example,
125) ensuring that these IDs are not in use by LDAP or other network services. Run the following
command to add the group:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 130 cimsrvr
After creating the group, run the following command to add the user:
/usr/sbin/useradd -u 125 -g cimsrvr -d /var/opt/wbem -c "WBEM Services"
cimsrvr
