Connecting to Celerra ECOM WebServer using WBEM Services

Question

Hi, I am trying to query the CIMOM server running the Celerra Simulator device using a WBEM Services module (http://wbemservices.sourceforge.net/). I could successfully establish a secure connection but it fails at the next step. This is the log snippet captured from /nas/log/smis/cimomlog.txt 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.370 -4131568528-T- NAVSSLSocket: acceptssl(): Obtained a new ssl connection 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.370 -4131568528-T- NAVSSLSocket: Constructing NAVSSLSocket 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.370 -4131568528-T- NAVSSLSocket: Loading existing SSL certificate... 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.371 -4131568528-W- ECOM WebServer: Could not load CA certificates: 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.373 -4131568528-T- NAVHTTPServerListener: Received connection from HOSTNAME[0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:A86:65F]:60115 (on CELERRA_DEVICE[0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:A86:337]:5989) 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.376 -4131568528-T- NAVSSLSocket: acceptssl(): Accepting ssl socket connections 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.378 -4025736080-I- ECOM WebServer: Performing SSL handshake with incoming connection 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.421 -4025736080-I- ECOM Webserver: Secure connection has been established with incoming client 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.482 -4025736080-T- WebServer: Received HTTP request.

Challenging client for credentials (basic authentication) --- I tried to change the setting from TRUE to FALSE Type='boolean' Value='true'/> in /celerra/wbem/conf/Security_settings.xml But when i restart the ECOM server, automatically this value is set to false. I also observed that when i use the EMC Unisphere web interface to connect to the device, the authentication is disabled and the request is allowed. 16-Dec-2011 19:22:25.482 -4025736080-T- WebServer: Received HTTP request.

Allowing request Can you please let me know how can i disable authentication for the CIM request after the secure connection is established? Thanks, Abishek

Did you see that there is a forum dedicated to ECOM ? See http://ionixforums.lss.emc.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=87 Rainer

Rainer,

Looks like the link is broken.

I searched the EMC deleveloper forum and found the link below

https://community.emc.com/community/edn/ionix?view=overview

Is this the one you were referring to or do you have another one?

Thanks,

Abishek
