Local User Configuration Tool

Each Operations Connector instance maintains a local users store. These users can access the local Operations Connector instance only and cannot not gain access to other Operations Connector applications. When Operations Connector users launch the Operations Connector user interface, they have to provide the credentials of a local Operations Connector user, or, if smart card authentication is configured, the smart card PIN.

To add additional users to the user store, run the Operations Connector local user configuration tool user.

Users added the local user store cannot be specified as Operations Connector user in the Main Settings of the OMi Connected Servers manager (Administration > Setup and Maintenance > Connected Servers). You must enter the Operations Connector administration user that you configured in the configuration wizard during installation.

The user tool is located on the Operations 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

Command options

-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 Operations 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 Operations Connector version number.

Local user store

The local user store is located in the following file on the Operations Connector system:

Windows: %OvDataDir%\conf\HPOprBSMC\users.properties

Linux: /var/opt/OV/conf/HPOprBSMC/users.properties

To add local users

1. Windows. Run the local user configuration tool:

   1. Open a command prompt and type:

      cd %OvDataDir%\installation\HPOprBSMC

   2. Run the Operations Connector local user configuration tool, type:

      user.bat -add <username> <password>

   Linux. Start the Operations Connector local user configuration tool, type:

   /var/opt/OV/installation/HPOprBSMC/user.sh -add <username> <password>

2. 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.
