About Security in HPOM
As an HPOM administrator, you need to carefully think through the
security implications of your HPOM configurations. For example,
managed nodes allow only those management servers that they
recognize as action-allowed managers to execute operator-initiated
actions.
Accessing HPOM
Only registered HPOM users can access the HPOM GUI. By default, the
users opc_adm and opc_op are available.
Changing User Names
HPOM user names and passwords have no direct relation to UNIX user
names and passwords. However, you can use UNIX user names. If you do
so, and if the user name is defined in the HPOM database, the user is not
prompted for HPOM password. This is the fastest way to open an HPOM
GUI. If you use UNIX user names, you should map UNIX user names
(1:1) to HPOM operator names.
Changing Passwords
As an HPOM administrator, you can change operator passwords.
However, you cannot see new passwords set by operators (that is, the
characters are masked with asterisks). By default, operators can change
their own passwords.
To Prevent Operators from Changing Passwords
To remove the change password functionality from all operators, follow
these steps:
1. Open the following file:
/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/appl/registration/\
C/opc_op/opcop
2. Add the following lines to the file:
Action “Change Password”
