DESCRIPTION

25       Create  a CMCIClient object and initialize it with the CIMOM connection
26       hostname and port, the security credentials to log into the CIMOM,  and
27       the  internals  for  sending  requests and receiving responses from the
28       CIMOM.
29
30       Arguments are the hostName and hostPort to connect, the CimUsername and
31       CimPassword  credentials  for  authentication  with  the  CIMOM,  and a
32       pointer to an object to receive the CMPIStatus operation status.
33
34       The function cmciConnect2 has the same purpose but offers extra parame‐
35       ters to control SSL operations.
36
37       verifyMode  specifies whether the server certificate for an SSL connec‐
38       tion is to be verified. If set to CMCI_VERIFY_NONE the server ceritifi‐
39       cat  will  not be verified, if set to CMCI_VERIFY_PEER it will be veri‐
40       fied agains the certificates in trustStore.
41
42       trustStore contains the name of a file containing CA or client certifi‐
43       cates  against which the server certificate will be verified if verify‐
44       Mode is set to CMCI_VERIFY_PEER.
45
46       certFile specifies the name of a file containing a  client  certificate
47       which will be presented to the CIM server, if the CIM server implements
48       certificate-based client authentication. Must be set  to  NULL,  if  no
49       client certificates are available.
50
51       keyFile specifies the name of a file containing the private key for the
52       certificate specified via certFile.  Must be set to NULL, if no  client
53       certificates are available.
54

RETURN VALUE

56       When successful the cmciConnect function returns a pointer to a dynami‐
57       cally allocated and initialized CMCIClient  object  with  a  successful
58       operation  status code set.  When unsuccessful it returns NULL and sets
59       rc object with the error code and corresponding error string.

ERRORS

EXAMPLES
63          CMCIClient *cc;
64
65          /* Setup a local conncetion to the CIMOM */
66          cc = cmciConnect("localhost", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
