Your CIM Server requires limited configuration. After you install
both fileset packages for the server and the providers, your Pegasus
CIM Server is ready for use.

The CIM Server runs as a daemon in the background. By default,
Basic Authentication is enabled. When Basic Authentication is enabled,
the CIM Server authenticates the user ID and password of each request.
To disable Basic Authentication, set enableAuthentication=false in
the configuration files before starting the CIM Server. If the CIM
Server is already running, it must be restarted for the change to
take effect. Client requests to the CIM Server must include a user
ID and password if Basic Authentication is enabled.
