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

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.

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

Thanks,
