User guide
Defining Users
To use the OSM client and server software, you must define the users that have access to your
server. OSM allows two types of users:
MSP (Low-Level-Link) Users
Can log on to the OSM Low-Level Link and connect to the MSP, allowing them to
access a server even when the NonStop operating system is not running.
●
Have full privileges and can perform serious actions such as loading the processor or
starting the system. Any MSP user can perform any action available in the OSM
Low-Level Link.
●
Have an MSP user name and password. You assign and modify MSP user names and
passwords using the OSM Low-Level Link. OSM provides one predefined MSP user
name, root. There is no predefined password for the root user. For security reasons, you
should immediately specify a root password. For more information, see the OSM
Low-Level Link online help.
●
NonStop Operating System Users
Can connect to the server using the OSM Service Connection.●
Can perform OSM Service Connection tasks. Only super-group users (255,n) can initiate
actions. Other users can log on and perform discovery but can perform only actions that
verify the presence of a resource.
Note: All NonStop operating system (super-group or other) users can perform all
tasks using the OSM Notification Director. For more information, see the
OSM Notification Director online help.
●
Can access the OSM Event Viewer.●
Have a NonStop operating system user name and password. These user names and
passwords are defined when you initialize your new system.
●
How to Plan Your Users
Define the general actions each person or group of persons will perform using the OSM
software package.
1.
Using the OSM Low-Level Link, define the MSP user names and passwords you will
use. For more information about defining user names and passwords, see the OSM
Low-Level Link online help.
