Name

nnm.properties — file containing the username and password for command line tools

SYNOPSIS

nnm.properties

DESCRIPTION

If you frequently run NNMi command line tools, HP recommends you create an nnm.properties file. This file contains a username and password that you can use in place of the -u and -p command line options. Using the nnm.properties file, you can run many commands without entering your password. The nnm.properties file contains an encrypted version of the password and should be created by running the nnmsetcmduserpw.ovpl script. Never manually edit the nnm.properties file. The nnmsetcmduserpw.ovpl script creates or edits a file placed in an .nnm subdirectory under your home directory at the following locations:

  • Windows: drive:\Documents and Settings\username\.nnm\

  • UNIX: ~/.nnm/

The contents of this file must be defined as follows:

nnm.username

The account user name.

nnm.password

The account encrypted password.

Most command line tools require an administrative user with an admin role assigned to the tool.
