Welcome to our community

I am running HPSim and have not been able to logon using wbem on any novell server other than 'anonymously'. I thereofore do not have the permissions to edit server thresholds and parameters.

As I understand it, windows uses local server authentication or accounts pushed out via 'Global Protocol settings' within wbem. These wbem accounts can also be viewed in a locally stored file called hkcmmd.acl or something similar.

I have been unable to get wbem to authenticate me using various username formats for novell.

i.e just userame: ricej
or full naming path: ricej.btadmin.rail.first
and also with the first . as in .ricej.btadmin.rail.first

I have also been unable to get wbem to authenticate me via 'Global protocol settings' either by pushing out the default settings or manually editing the local .acl file.

I have tried the default accounts:

administrator administrator
operator operator
user user

and also tried creating my own

all to no avail.

Is there something that I am completely misunderstanding here.

Could you possibly point me in the right direction.
