While configuring the details for redirection, the following formats are to be used:


i) in openwsman.conf file (the main configuration file) you can have a section like the following:

[redirect]
#server field is mandatory
server='a.b.c.d'   
#resource field is mandatory
resource='http://schemas.example.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2'

#the remaining fields below are optional. If not provides, these fields will be imported from main wsman command or defaults

# username and password will be imported from the main wsman request
username='user1'
password='password'


#default for url_path is '/wsman'
url_path='/wsman'

#default for authentication_method is basic
authentication_method='basic'

#default for cim_namespace is root/cimv2
cim_namespace='root/cimv2'

#Default value of cacert is NULL. While talking to a remote WSMAN server over SSL, this has to be assigned some value. If not assigned some value, the redirection will fail.
cacert='/etc/dummy.cert'

#default of 5985 is used.
port=5985

#Default vaule is 0
noverifypeer=0

#default value is 0
noverifyhost=0

#default value is NULL
sslkey=NULL

#default value is NULL
cl_cert=NULL


ii)In order to hide the sensitive username and password details better, you can include a new file to the openwsman.conf as follows

[redirect]
include='/etc/openwsman/redirect.conf'

You can make the new conf file, only root read-only and hide the sensitive info better. The new redirect.conf file will capture the details in the following format:

server='a.b.c.d'
resource='http://schemas.example.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2'

username='user1'
password='password'
url_path='/wsman'
authentication_method='basic'
cim_namespace='root/cimv2'
cacert='/etc/dummy.cert'
port=5985
noverifypeer=0
noverifyhost=0
sslkey=NULL
cl_cert=NULL


All the above options are simila to the corresponding options provided to wsman program (in wsmancli package). Please refer to documentation in wsmancli for more details on each option.
