Software User Manual

4 Configuring Users
Overview
After installing the server, you need to configure the users and groups with privileges for the HP
3PAR Policy Manager, and modify the Policy Manager configuration settings for your specific use
of the server.
User configuration is performed through the Apache Tomcat file realm. To manage the user
configuration, you need to start the server and then log into the Tomcat server.
NOTE: One other Policy Manager configuration file, log4j.properties, contains diagnostic
settings you may want to modify if troubleshooting server errors. This file is located in
..\Tomcat5\shared\classes. You should change the settings only if you have experience
with database and server administration and database debugging.
This chapter explains the following configuration settings available for the Policy Manager system:
• Configuring users for server administration and Policy Manager login.
• Configuring Policy Manager server properties and functionality.
Configuring Users
The Tomcat file realm controls who has access to administering the server and who can log in to
and use the Policy Manager application pages.
To configure the Tomcat file realm for HP 3PAR Policy Manager, you need to specify users for the
two user groups, APMAdmin and APMUsers, as follows:
• APMAdmin group - individuals defined in this group will be able to log into Tomcat and
configure server settings, additional APMusers, and so forth.
• APMUsers group - individuals defined in this group will be able to log into the application
pages, set permissions for all policies and groups defined in Policy Manager, view all audit
log messages, add, configure, and delete groups, and so forth.
You configure users for Tomcat and Policy Manager pages in the Tomcat Administration application.
The user information you specify in this application is saved to the tomcat-users.xml file.
