DESCRIPTION
The cimconfig command manages CIM Server configuration properties. The
operations are executed on the local host by submitting requests to the
CIM Server. An operation on a current configuration property takes
effect immediately, and an operation on a planned configuration prop‐
erty takes effect the next time the CIM Server is started with cim‐
server (8) . Modifications to a configuration property via cimconfig
remain in effect until changed via another cimconfig command. Configu‐
ration properties may also be modified temporarily via the cimserver
(8) command, in which case, the modification of the configuration prop‐
erty remains in effect for that execution of the cimserver (8) command
only. A default value is associated with each configuration property.
Each configuration property is initially assigned its default value,
until modified by a cimconfig command or cimserver (8) command.
Dynamic configuration properties are those whose current values may be
set while the CIM server is running.
The following configuration properties are available:
authorizedUserGroups
Description: If set, the value is interpreted as a list of
comma-separated user groups whose members may issue CIM
requests. A user who is not a member of any of these groups is
restricted from issuing CIM requests, with the exception of
privileged users (superuser). If unset, any user may issue CIM
requests. Note: This configuration property operates in conjunc‐
tion with other CIM request authorization conditions rather than
overriding them.
Default Value: (None)
Dynamic: No
enableAssociationTraversal
Description: If True, the CIM Server will support the four asso‐
ciation traversal operators: Associators, AssociatorNames, Ref‐
erences, and ReferenceNames.
Default Value: True
Dynamic: No
enableIndicationService
Description: If True, the CIM Server will support CIM Indica‐
tions.
Default Value: True
Dynamic: No
enableHttpConnection
Description: If True, allows connections to the CIM Server using
the HTTP protocol
Default Value: False
Dynamic: No
enableHttpsConnection
Description: If True, allows connections to the CIM Server using
the HTTPS protocol (HTTP using Secure Socket Layer encryption)
Default Value: True
Dynamic: No
enableNamespaceAuthorization
Description: If True, the CIM Server restricts access to names‐
paces based on configured user authorizations [user authoriza‐
tions may be configured using cimauth (8) ]
Default Value: False
Dynamic: No
enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess
Description: If True, the CIM Server allows access by a privi‐
leged user from a remote system
Default Value: True
Dynamic: No
enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers
Description: If True, nonprivileged user of the system will be
allowed to create Indication Subscription, otherwise privileged
access is required.
Default Value: False
Dynamic: No
forceProviderProcesses
Description: If true, the CIM Server runs Providers in separate
processes rather than loading and calling Provider libraries
directly within the CIM Server process.
Default Value: True
Dynamic: No
idleConnectionTimeout
Description: If set to a positive integer, this value specifies
a minimum timeout value for idle client connections. If set to
zero, idle client connections do not time out. Aclientconnec‐
tionisconsideredidlewhenitisnotintheprocessof sending a request
and the CIM Server is not processing a request from that connec‐
tion. An idle connection timeout allows reclamation of the sys‐
tem resources allocated for idle CIM Server connections. Note
that the CIM Server may allow an idle connection to persist
longer than the configured timeout value based on server activ‐
ity. Someclientapplicationsmaynotbehavecorrectlyifaconnection‐
timeout is introduced. Client compatibility should be consid‐
ered when configuring an idle connection timeout value. Thei‐
dleconnectiontimeiscomputedusingthesystemclock.Thus, resetting
the system clock may cause unexpected timeout behavior.
Default Value: 0
Dynamic: No
shutdownTimeout
Description: When a cimserver -s shutdown command is issued,
specifies the maximum time in seconds for the CIM Server to com‐
plete outstanding CIM operation requests before shutting down;
if the specified timeout period expires, the CIM Server will
shut down, even if there are still CIM operations in progress.
Minimum value is 2 seconds.
Default Value: 30
Dynamic: Yes
If both the enableHttpsConnection and enableHttpConnection properties
are set to False , neither HTTP nor HTTPS connections will be allowed.
On some platforms, the OpenPegasus CIM Server has been enhanced to
include support for a local (single system), non-standard protocol.
This allows the OpenPegasus CIM Server to continue to receive and
process requests from local OpenPegasus CIM Clients even if both HTTP
ports are disabled. If a local protocol is not supported, the CIM
Server will be shut down and disabled from automatically being
re-started.
The current and planned values of the configuration properties are
stored in the files /var/opt/tog-pegasus/cimserver_current.conf and
/var/opt/tog-pegasus/cimserver_planned.conf , respectively. The con‐
figuration properties may only be modified via the cimconfig and cim‐
server (8) commands; the files must not be edited directly.
Options
The cimconfig command recognizes the following options:
-g configuration_property
Gets the specified value (current, planned and/or
default) of the specified configuration property.
By default, gets the current value.
-s configuration_property = value
Sets the specified value (current and/or planned)
of the specified configuration property to R
value . By default, sets the current value.
-u configuration_property
Unsets the specified value (current and/or
planned) of the specified configuration property,
and resets it to its default value. By default,
unsets the current value and resets it to its
default value.
-l Lists all the specified (current or planned) con‐
figuration property name and value pairs in the
CIM Server. By default, lists only the names of
all the current configuration properties.
-c Specifies that the operation (get, set, unset, or
list) be performed on the current configuration
properties. For set or unset operations, returns
an error when the CIM Server is not running or
the specified property is not a dynamic property.
-p Specifies that the operation (get, set, unset, or
list) be performed on the planned configuration
properties. For set and unset operations, oper‐
ates on the value of the specified property in
the planned configuration file if the CIM Server
is not running.
-d Specifies that the get operation be performed on
the default configuration properties. Returns an
error when the CIM Server is not running.
If no options are specified, cimconfig displays a usage message.
EXIT STATUS
When an error occurs, an error message is written to stderr and an
error value of 1 is returned. The following return values are returned:
0 Successful completion
1 Error
