11.2 Changing the OpenWBEM
When OpenWBEM CIMOM (owcimomd) starts, it reads it run-time configuration from
the openwbem.conf file. The openwbem.conffile is located in the /etc/
openwbem directory.
Any setting that has the options commented out with a semicolon (;) or pound sign (#)
uses the default setting.
When making changes to this file, you can use any text editor that saves the file in a
format that is native to the platform you are using.
You can change any of the settings in the openwbem.conf file. This section discusses
the following configuration settings:
