Customizing the UIM server

You can enable or disable the Commands page, and you can also provide an active authentication with the session. When the ALLOW_NETCMD variable is set to AUTH, you must use the following command to log in:

http://uimServerHostName:uimPortNumber/UIMLogon

If the logon is successful, you can display the Commands page (http://uimServerHostName:uimPortNumber/htpcmd.html). For more information about the Commands page, see Managing-a-UIM-server.

To enable or disable the Command page

  1. Open your startup configuration member for editing.

  2. From your startup configuration member, find the ALLOW_NETCMD variable.
    By default, the network browser commands are processed by the UIM server, but you can disable them by setting the ALLOW_NETCMD value to NO.

    The following example shows the variable set to the default value:

     <bmc_parm id="ALLOW_NETCMD" value="YES" />
  3. Change ALLOW_NETCMD to one of the following values:
    • YES
      Enables the Commands page.

    • NO
      Disables the Commands page.

    • AUTH
      Requires logging on to the Commands page.
