In the left pane on this dialog box, Context Help is displayed. When you click in a field, new information that describes how to use that particular field is displayed in the Context Help pane.
In the CIM WorkShop Login dialog box, you specify:
The host on which the CIM Object Manager is running and that contains the namespace in which you want to work
Namespace
Your user name
Your password
The transfer protocol (RMI or HTTP) you want to use
By default, CIM WorkShop uses the RMI protocol to connect to the CIM Object Manager on the local host, in the default namespace, root\cimv2. You can select HTTP if you want to communicate to a CIM Object Manager by using the standard XML/HTTP protocol defined by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF). When your host establishes a connection, all classes that are contained in the specified namespace are displayed in the left pane on the CIM WorkShop main window.
Fill out the CIM WorkShop Login dialog box:
In the Host Name field, type the name of a host running the CIM Object Manager.
Note: By default, CIM WorkShop connects to the CIM Object Manager on the local host, in the default namespace, root\cimv2. If you start CIM WorkShop as part of the WBEM SDK in the Solaris operating environment or in the Microsoft Windows environment, you need to provide the name of a host that is already running a CIM Object Manager.
In the Namespace field, click in the field and type the name of the namespace that you want to use, or retain the name of the default namespace.
In the User Name field, type the user name you generally use for system and networking privileges.
Note: You must have write access to the current namespace to perform particular operations, such as adding or deleting a class in CIM WorkShop.
In the Password field, type the password you generally use for system and networking privileges.
Select the transfer protocol you want to use.
Click OK.
The CIM WorkShop main window is displayed. A message is displayed that states that the classes in the class inheritance tree are being enumerated.
