Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 7.4 User's Guide

Best Practices While Using The Omarolemap File

The following are the best practices to be considered while working with the omarolemap file :

Do not delete the following default entries in the omarolemap file.

Do not change the omarolemap file permissions or file format.
Do not use the loop back address for < Host_Name> , for example: localhost or 127.0.0.1.
After the connection services are restarted and the changes do not take effect for the omarolemap file, see the command log for the errors.
When the omarolemap file is copied from one machine to another machine, file permissions and the entries of the file needs to be rechecked.
Prefix the Group Name with + .
Server Administrator uses the default operating system user privileges, if :
- a user is degraded in the omarolemap file
- there are duplicate entries of user names or user groups along with same < Host_Name>
You can also use Space as a delimiter for columns instead of [Tab].
