About managing users
Managing users by setting up resource groups and permissions (roles) for user groups allows resource
control to be performed for users in the user groups.
Two built-in user accounts are automatically established when HP StorageWorks P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite is installed. Note that Device Manager (GUI and CLI) and Tiered Storage
Manager (GUI) users must be registered and assigned to a user group. For Tiered Storage Manager
(CLI) other Command View AE Suite products, the permitted range of operations for each user can
be limited by registering the user as a login user and setting user permissions. The user management
window makes it possible to manage user accounts that are common to all products. Specifically:
•
The System account (default password:
manager
) is used to manage Command View AE Suite
operations and all HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite user accounts.
•
The HaUser account (default password:
haset
) is the default user account used by Device Manager
agents. The default role for the HaUser account is Peer and the PeerGroup is set for the HaUser
account. The HaUser account belongs to PeerGroup as soon as the installation completes.
You log in by using the System account to access the user management window and to manage user
access to storage systems registered in Command View AE Suite.
You can also manage user accounts by linking to an external authentication server, such as an LDAP
directory server, RADIUS server, or Kerberos server. However, the built-in accounts (System and
HaUser) cannot be authenticated on an external authentication server.
The Command View AE Suite user account used to connect to external authentication servers and
external authorization servers is managed as a Windows Active Directory (authorization) group.
Permissions that are specified for authorized groups are also applied to users who belong to nested
groups.
