2.7 Configuring Security Manager

To discover hardware resources, AppManager requires an account with permission to gather remote device information. You must provide the account information in AppManager Security Manager.

For the proxy agent computer, complete the following fields on the Custom tab in Security Manager:

Field	Description
Label	Hardware
Sub-Label	Do one of the following: Specify the server host name and the WBEM protocol as follows: [Monitored Server Hostname]:WBEM For example: Server01:WBEM Specify the server IP address and the WBEM protocol as follows: [Monitored Server IP address]:WBEM For example: 10.99.120.1:WBEM To discover a range of servers, provide the IP range. For example: 10.99.120.1-10.99.120.10:WBEM When you run the Discovery_Hardware Knowledge Script, the Knowledge Script job converts the IP address to the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). In the Operator Console and Control Center console, the FQDN identifies the servers. Specify default to create a default account for which you have to provide the username, password and port in the Value 1, Value 2, and Value 3 fields respectively. Use the default account settings to discover servers that do not have the server information configured in Security Manager. For SAN/NAS environments, specify the SMI-S agent IP address and the WBEM protocol as follows: [SMI-S Agent IP address]:WBEM For example: 10.99.135.5:WBEM NOTE:Do not specify the IP address of the storage that you want to monitor.
Value 1	User name for the account that has permissions to gather remote device information You can specify a local or domain user. If you specify a domain user, use the format domain\username.
Value 2	Password for the user name identified in Value 2 field.
Value 3	Specify the port to gather remote device information. The default port is 5989.
Extended application support	Required field. Encrypts the user name and password in Security Manager. Do not leave this option unselected.
