PAM is used for OpenPegasus authentication in Fedora and you don't need to use cimuser command at all (OpenPegasus user management mechanism is automatically disabled when compiled with PAM support). See /etc/Pegasus/access.conf for user management.
Thank you so much Red Hat for your response. PAM support was the change I was indeed missing. My http://vouters.dyndns.org/WBEMApp application now works again as expected. Instead of granting guest WBEM read access to /root/cimv2 via cimuser, I just had to do: # cimauth -a -u guest -n root/cimv2 -R and it did the trick. Thank you so much for the high quality of your support.
