Create a new user account to sign-in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). The account must be valid on the operating system (including Active Directory on Windows) on the Central Management Server (CMS) and is authenticated by the CMS. You must know the operating system user account name of the user you are adding, but it is not necessary to know the password. To create a new user: Select Options SecurityUsers and AuthorizationsUsers, and then click
New. The New User section appears. (Required) In the Sign-in name [on central management server(CMS)] field, enter the operating system login account name to be used to sign-in to HP SIM. This field is required.
Note: The user cannot sign-in to HP SIM if the account is not a valid login. The account is not validated until the user attempts to sign-in to HP SIM. (Optional) In the Full name field, enter the user's full name. (Optional) If you are using Windows, in the Phone field of the Pager Information section, enter the pager phone number. If the Phone number field is left blank, the paging information is not saved. This field does not apply to user groups.. (Optional) In the E-mail address field, enter the user's e-mail address. In the Copy all authorizations of this user or [template] field, select a template (administrator-template, operator-template, or user-template) or sign-in account that already has the predefined authorizations that you want to assign to the sign-in account you are creating.
For user accounts that must be able to create, modify, or delete other accounts in the Central management server security configuration right section, select User can configure CMS security access such as creating, modifying or removing other users. If you selected an existing user with administrative rights or the administrator template in the previous step, this option is automatically selected. Under the Sign-In IP Address Restrictions section, in the Inclusion ranges field, enter the IP addresses of the systems you want this user to be able to use as a client browsing this CMS. If you list multiple IP addresses, separate them with a semicolon (;). Each range is a single IP address or two IP addresses separated by a dash (-). The IP addresses must be entered in the standard dotted decimal notation, for example, 15.1.54.133. Any spaces surrounding the semicolons or dashes are ignored. Spaces are not allowed within a single IP address in the dotted decimal notation. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user from logging in through a remote system.
Important: If browsing from the CMS, ensure all IP addresses of the CMS are properly included. If browsing to localhost, ensure the loopback address 127.0.0.1 is also included. In the Exclusion ranges field, enter the IP address of the systems that should be excluded from management by this user or user group. Use the same format as in the previous step for Inclusion ranges. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user from logging in through a remote system.
Note: Ensure that your inclusion and exclusion ranges do not overlap.
To save and close the New User section, click OK. The new user account is created. To save and keep the New User section open, click Apply, or to cancel the creation of this user, click Cancel.
User groups must exist in the operating system.Members of user groups in the operating system can sign-in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and inherit the group's attributes for configuration rights, sign in IP address restrictions, and authorizations. When a group's configuration rights, sign in IP address restrictions, or authorizations are changed, this change is immediately reflected for all current members of the group. To create a new user group: Select OptionsSecurityUsers and AuthorizationsUsers, and then click
New Group. The New User Group section appears. In the Group name (on central management server) field, enter the operating system group name to be used for signing in to HP SIM. This field is required. In the Full name field, enter the full name for the group. This name appears in the table under the Users tab. In the Copy all authorizations of this user or [template] field, select a template or sign in that already has the predefined authorizations that you want to assign to the group you are creating.
For user accounts that must be able to create, modify, or delete other accounts in the Central management server security configuration right section, select User can configure CMS security access such as creating, modifying or removing other users.
