8.6.2 Object manager security

The HMC Object Manager Security mode can be configured as either Plain
Socket or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). By default, the Plain Sockets mode is
used. For SSL mode, the Object Manager reuses the HMC System manager
server's private key. The server private key and the Certificate Authority's public
key must be installed when establishing the SSL connection.

8.6.3 HMC user management

The HMC management option allows you to create and manage HMC user
profiles and to configure the HMC. Some of this configuration is done when the
Setup Wizard is initially run to setup the HMC. The options under HMC
management allow you to go in and modify the configuration that was initially set
up.

Editing user information
Viewing user information
Deleting a user

You must be either the system administrator or the user administrator to perform
the functions listed above. Each HMC user can be a member of one to six
different roles. Each of these roles allows the user to access different parts of the
HMC. The user roles as specified by the HMC are as follows:
