another valid OpenVMS user account that has fewer privileges, for example jsmythe. First, you
would add the user to the parameters file. You would then log on to the management server,
access the Discovery page, and provide the user name and password for jsmythe. Only the user
name and password for jsmythe can be used to discover the OpenVMS host.
Follow these steps to add a user to the parameters file:
1. Go to SYS$SPECIFIC:[OPT.APPQCIME.CONF] by entering the following command:
SET DEF SYS$SPECIFIC:[OPT.APPQCIME.CONF]
2. Open the CIMEXTENSION.PARAMETERS file in a text editor, and enter the following line:
-users jsmythe
where jsmythe is a valid OpenVMS user name.
NOTE: You can enter multiple users by separating them with a colon, as shown in the
following example:
-users jsmythe:myname
3. Save the file.
4. Restart the CIM extension for your changes to take effect.
NOTE: The CIM extension looks for parameters in the CIMEXTENSION.PARAMETERS file
