Setting Password for VA7110 Manager GUI

[Curtis Deese]

We are not prompted for a username or password when accessing our VA7110 Manager GUI. How is a password set for the utility and how do we get the password prompt back? We used to get the password prompt before a software upgrade. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

You need to enable "User Security". It is enabled by setting parameter "SECURITY_ENABLED=true" in file
/opt/sanmgr/commandview/server/config/PanConfigParams.txt

Start and stop SDM daemons using

# /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/sbin/HA_Dial_Stop

# /opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/sbin/HA_Dial_Start

Once the user security is enabled,you would be prompted with login screen. Then try using your earlier username/password. If it doesn't work, then login with default username/password as Administrator/administrator and then add a new user.

Refer the CommandView SDM document at

I set SECURITY_ENABLED=true in file /opt/sanmgr/commandview/server/config/PanConfigParams.txt and stopped and started the SDM daemons. Now, when I try to access the SDM GUI I get the following error: "Login failed. You are not allowed to access this system." I still do not get a login prompt. Is there a configuration file where I need to add the IP address of the machine I am trying to access the SDM GUI from?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The file name where you need to put the IP address of the system from where you are accessing the SDM GUI is

# /opt/sanmgr/hostagent/config/access.dat

Thank you for your quick response. I added the IP address of host I am trying to access the VA7110 Manager GUI from in the file, turned on the security, restarted the VA7110 Manager daemons, and now I get the following error:

Login failed. You are not allowed to access this system.

I am not prompted for a password. What other configuration settings do I need to change so that I get a login prompt and can access the GUI?

Thank you,

Curtis

Run these commands from the host to which the array is connected or the host who manages the array and see what you get

# armdsp -i
# armdsp -L

I assume that you have an entry for 127.0.0.1 in the access.dat file.

Check the file /etc/opt/sanmgr/hostagent/config/commIpAddr.txt file.
for correct IP address of the host. This IP should be reachable from the GUI client. If you change this file, restart the daemons. This is often a case during CV SDM installation and the host has multiple IP addresses ( multiple lan cards ). So this file may get no-desired IP address.

Do you see the file /opt/sanmgr/commandview/server/data/UserDBFile ? non-zero size maybe?

CommandView SDM has it's own web server . So you need to check if the web server is running and the default port 4096 is available for connection ( http client request).Check the file /opt/sanmgr/commandview/server/browserSDM/conf.xml for the port number configured. If you change this file, restart the daemons.
