Each BSM Connector instance maintains a local users store. These users can access the local BSM Connector instance only and cannot not gain access to other BSM Connector applications. When BSM Connector users launch the BSM Connector user interface, they have to provide the credentials of a local BSM Connector user, or, if smart card authentication is configured, the smart card PIN.
To add additional users to the user store, run the BSM Connector local user configuration tool user.
Note: Users added the local user store cannot be specified as BSM Connector user in the Main Settings of the OMi Connected Servers manager (Administration > Setup and Maintenance > Connected Servers). You must enter the BSM Connector administration user that you configured in the configuration wizard during installation.
The user tool is located on the BSM Connector server in:
Windows: %OvDataDir%\installation\HPOprBSMC\user.bat
Linux: /var/opt/OV/installation/HPOprBSMC/user.sh
user
accepts the following options:
user -help | -list | -add <username> <password> | -delete <username> | -version
-h
,-help
Shows tool usage and description.
-l
,-list
Lists the users stored in the local user store.
-a
,-add <username> <password>
Adds a user to the local users store. If the user already exists, the password is overwritten.
The username and password must contain ASCII characters only. The user name must contain at least three characters. Valid characters in user names are alphanumeric characters (a-z
, A-Z
, and 0-9
), hyphens (-
), underscores (_
), periods (.
), and the at sign (@
).
When configuring BSM Connector for smart card authentication, use the value of the User Principal Name (UPN) in the certificate as user name.
-d
,-delete <username>
Deletes the specified user from the local user store.
-v
,-version
Displays the BSM Connector version number.
The local user store is located in the following file on the BSM Connector system:
Windows: %OvDataDir%\conf\HPOprBSMC\users.properties
Linux: /var/opt/OV/conf/HPOprBSMC/users.properties
Windows. Run the local user configuration tool:
Open a command prompt and type:
cd %OvDataDir%\installation\HPOprBSMC
Run the BSM Connector local user configuration tool, type:
user.bat -add <username> <password>
Linux. Start the BSM Connector local user configuration tool, type:
/var/opt/OV/installation/HPOprBSMC/user.sh -add <username> <password>
Optional. Review the log file at:
Windows: %OvDataDir%log\opr-pm-cli.log
Linux: /var/opt/OV/log/opr-pm-cli.log
The program appends log information to the file when you run the program again.
