Authentication
The following authentication settings are set and enabled as the default for OpenWBEM
in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
You can change any of the default settings. See
tication Configuration"
• http_server.allow_local_authentication = true
• http_server.ssl_client_verification = disabled
• http_server.use_digest = false
• owcimomd.allow_anonymous = false
• owcimomd.allowed_users = root
• owcimomd.authentication_module =
/usr/lib/openwbem/authentication/libpamauthentication.so
The OpenWBEM CIMOM is PAM enabled by default; therefore the local root user
can authenticate to the OpenWBEM CIMOM with local root user credentials.
11.1.3 Setting Up Logging
You can change any of the default settings. For more information, see
"Changing the Default Logging Configuration"
By default, logging for OpenWBEM is set up as follows.
• log.main.components = *
• log.main.level = ERROR
• log.main.type = syslog
This means that owcimomd logging is set up to go to the /var/log/messages file
or to other files depending on the configuration of syslogd. It logs all errors for all
components (owcimomd).
