HP Operations Manager

Agent users and actions


The following table shows various possible configurations of agents and the users they run as.

Tool Runs As Password Result
HP ITO Account or Local System Not specified No login for the user. The tool will always succeed and it will run as the agent user.
HP ITO account Specified Login will be done for the user. The tool will succeed only if the user exists and the password is correct. Because the HP ITO account does not exist on a Local System agent, the tool will fail there.
Local System Specified The Local System account does not have a password, so a login with password is not possible. The tool will fail.
$AGENT_USER Not specified Succeeds on both an HP ITO account agent and a Local System agent. It will run as the agent user.
