IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Add users
Define users on each hub and specify access rights for each user (query or update) by following the procedure below.
Complete the following procedure to define users and specify access rights:
Procedure
- Select the server (click anywhere within the server tree displayed), if required.
- Under Add User Data, type the user name. User IDs must be identical to those specified for monitoring server logon validation. Access is restricted to only that monitoring server to which a user has access.
If you do not supply a user ID, all users are given permission to update data.
- Click the type of user access: Query or Update.
- Click Add User. The server tree is updated, showing the user and type of access.
- To delete a user: Select the user name from the tree and click Delete Item.
- To delete a hub: Click anywhere within the hub's tree and click Clear Tree.
When SOAP security is enabled, the user Query and Update permissions control authorization of the tacmd commands that send requests to the hub monitoring server and requests from other SOAP clients. The SOAP_IS_SECURE environment variable of the hub monitoring server must also be set to YES if you want to control which users can issue SOAP CT_EMail and CT_Export requests.
The query permission prevents the user from performing the create, update, and delete operations, and also the tacmd commands for remote deploy and execution of commands, such as executeaction and executecommand.
The update permission grants permission to run all SOAP operation and applies to all tacmd commands that send requests to the hub monitoring server, except for the tacmd getFile and tacmd putFile commands. Permission to run the tacmd getFile and tacmd putFile commands is controlled by the KT1_TEMS_SECURE environment variable of the hub monitoring server. For more details on how to enable permission to run these two commands, see the Command Reference.
