EMC Clarion CX3 - adding user authentication on windows 2008

If you are using naviseccli all you need to do is create a security file in your home directory using the -AddUserSecurity switch. Then when you run naviseccli commands it will use the security file you created for authentication to the array.

The format for this command is:
naviseccli -AddUserSecurity -password NavispherePassword-scope 0 -user NavisphereUserAccount

See the document titled "EMC Navisphere Command Line Interface (CLI) Reference" for more details.

Hi AranH,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

For windows 2008, what user do i need to add into the array (i.e via the user management console of the array).

I tried adding SYSTEM user but it didn't work. This used to work for Windows 2003.

Thanks & Regards
Ranjit

From page 2-10 of the Navisphere CLI Reference:

-user username

Specifies the username on the storage system you want to log in
to. Usernames are case sensitive. You can omit this if your
username has been added to the security file.

When you go in through Navisphere Manager, what username do you login with? Use that username in this command. Refer back to the guide for more switches for naviseccli.
