alerting wbem firewall

[topuli]

hit @all

just to be sure, that i anderstand it right.
at the moment it is not possible, using hpsim 4.2 sp2, to get critical events through a firewall using only wbem (with wmi portmapping).

what would be the "right" way to monitor different locations each behind a firewall ?
one CMS in the DMZ with snmp enabled between the managed server and the cms ?

or a cms for each location ?

is there no "secure" way to monitor remote locations behind a firewall ?

are there any changes in the WBEM support in HPSSIM 5.0

Have you looked at this whitepaper from the HpSIM site?

You may find your answers there.

thank you, if already read the whitepapaer,
i just wanted to be sure, if there is really no possibility to manage remote sites using a "secure protocol".
what about hpsim 5, has anyone information about the implementation of wbem.

have a nice day
