E Configuring the WBEM provider password

WBEM is a management information retrieval and command protocol. Application Discovery uses a WBEM provider to allow the central management server (CMS) to send commands to agents running on managed nodes. Sending a WBEM command to a managed node requires remote login from the CMS to a managed node.

An authorized user name and matching password are used to log in. The users who are authorized to access the Application Discovery WBEM provider on a managed system are the same users who are registered with Systems Insight Manager to access system metrics.

Ensure that the following WBEM user IDs are registered with System Insight Manager: root, bin, and amgr. Registering any one of these IDs enables the WBEM provider to be connected to from the Application Discovery CMS. Every registered WBEM user must have a valid password.

To register a WBEM user ID and password with System Insight Manager, click the following menu options to begin altering the credentials of one or more systems: OptionsSecurityCredentialsSystem Credentials

For help on this action, see the following topics in the HP Systems Insight Manager Help online: “System credentials” and “WBEM credentials”.

In case of failure

Any failed login attempts discovered by the Application Discovery user interface create an entry in the System Insight Manager audit log. The WBEM provider on each managed system is responsible for logging failed WBEM login attempts.
