Diangnostics Functionality and SMDADM user in Managed System

[Former Member]

Hello Guys

We are having a lot of doubts regarding some changes in SMDADM user in Managed System, let me explain better

One of our customers changed the following parameters in their AIX System (Managed System)

/etc/security/user      Direct login                   login= false

/etc/security/user      Remote Login               rlogin =false

/etc/ftpusers             Restrict FTP access      Id must exist in file

This parameters were changed in SMDADM user, login=false  means nobody can telnet to this ID, Our customer disabled telnet & ssh access for security reasons

Our doubts is very simple but complicated in same time..Diagnostics functionality will be affected if  SMDADM has assigned these parameters??

We are running Solution Manager 7.0 SP28

Introscope 8.2.2.0

Thanks for your answers

Regards

hi,

You are saying <SID>ADM your case SMDADM a OS user, is it?

if this case, it doesnt harm, anything your RCA and monitoring functionalities.

Since al these datas transfered to Solman already by SMD and SAP host agents.

but I wonder if you lock the smdadm user , hw did you restart your smd agent,

other activity like registering smd agent with other solution manager system,

Please check,

Thanks

Hello Jansi thanks for your response

I'm not sure which user you are referring... but i think that you are doing reference to user that manage SAP and all stuff regarding sap installation and stat/stop tasks. In our case the SID of the system is W**

Could you help me to clarify please?

This post is referenced  to SMDADM (DAAADM) This user is that manage the SAP host agent in the managed system

We are worry about Trace Analysis and all Diagnostics functionality

Just for add some details ... The user is not blocked and still active, the only thing was changed was that nobody can telnet or ssh

I appreciate your help

Regards
