HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide (Web Version) (TK981-96004, May 2014)
4 Security
This chapter describes the security settings required to operate HP XP7 Command View Advanced
Edition products.
Login warning banners
A warning banner is a field for security messages displayed in the Login panel of HP XP7 Command
View Advanced Edition products.
HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products can display an optional message (warning
banner), as a security risk measure at login. Issuing a warning beforehand to third parties that might
attempt illegal access can help reduce the risk of problems such as data loss or information leakage.
Conditions that apply when displaying warning banner messages
When you use the hcmds64banner command to register a message to be displayed on a warning
banner, there are restrictions on the number of characters and character codes.
• Use HTML tags to create a message. In addition to the usual characters, you can use HTML tags
to change font attributes or place line breaks in desired locations.
The following conditions apply to the use of HTML tags:
• To use line breaks in a desired location, use the HTML tag <BR>.
• To display a character used in HTML syntax (for example, < > " ' &), use the HTML escape
sequence. For example, to display an ampersand (&) in the Login panel, write & in the
HTML file.
• No more than 1,000 characters can be used. (HTML tag characters are also counted in the number
of characters.)
• Usable characters are from the Unicode UTF-8 encoding.
Creating and registering a message displayed on a warning banner
Use a text editor to create a message displayed on a warning banner for HP XP7 Command View
Advanced Edition programs, and execute the hcmds64banner command to register it.
Operations to complete in advance
Log in as a user with Administrator permissions (for Windows) or as a root user (for Linux).
