System Management Homepage 7.1 User Guide
Choose one of two ways to avoid security warnings when browsing with IPv6
addresses:
• Use a DNS name backed by IPv6 addresses.
• Add the literal IPv6 address to the Local intranet site or Trusted sites of Internet
Explorer 7 without the port number. For example, add http://[
2001:db8:c18:1:250:8bff:fee2:4ed8] and https://[
2001:db8:c18:1:250:8bff:fee2:4ed8] without adding the port number.
13.13.4.2 Is there an easier way to access the local system with my browser without finding
out its IP address?
Yes. You can access the local system at https://hostname:2381 or
https://127.0.0.1:2381. For HP-UX, you can access the local system at
http://hostname:2301 if you keep the default setting of autostart enabled.
NOTE: The word localhost does not work in all languages. In addition, if you have
a proxy server configured in your browser, you might need to add 127.0.0.1 to the
browser list of addresses that should not be proxied.
13.13.4.3 When I use the IP Restricted Login feature, entering my server IP address does not
have the desired effect. How can I be sure that the local machine IP addresses are
recognized by this feature?
Enter 127.0.0.1 in addition to the IP addresses of the server if you intend to restrict
the local machine. The address 127.0.0.1 is always permitted in the Include section,
so it is only restricted if it is explicitly placed in the Exclude section.
13.13.4.4 Although an IP restriction is configured, localhost access is not being denied. Why
is this happening?
If you do not include the IP address for the local host in the Include field, the local
host is still granted access because most users do not intend to block local host access.
If you do need to block localhost access, enter 127.0.0.1 into the Exclude field
under IP Restriction.
13.13.4.5 Under IP Restriction, I did not include the system's local IP address or 127.0.0.1 to
the Include list, but I can still browse to it locally.
As a precaution against users unintentionally locking themselves out of HP SMH
access, localhost requests are not denied when the local IP addresses are not
mentioned in the Include list. If necessary, the local system's IP address and 127.0.0.1
can be added to the Exclude list, and this setting denies access to any user trying to
gain access from the local system.
13.5 Sign In Problems
13.13.5.1 After signing onto the Windows operating system on a ProLiant or Integrity server
running HP SMH Version 2.1.3 (or later), the ROTATELOGS.EXE command prompt
appears on the screen if SMH is configured to allow interaction with the desktop.
When this occurs, one or two smaller command prompt windows appear with
messages similar to the following:
(drive) :\hp\hpsmh\bin\rotatelogs.exe
The command prompt window messages do not affect the performance or functionality
of the server or of SMH and can be ignored.
Any ProLiant or Integrity server configured with Windows 2000 Server or Windows
Server 2003 (any edition) and HP SMH Version 2.1.3 (or later) when SMH is allowed
to interact with the desktop can be affected.
To prevent HP SMH from interacting with the server desktop, perform the following:
1. Click Start→Programs→Administrative Tools→Services
