HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows HP Part Number: 418812-005

• Configure secure shell (SSH) access Select this option to configure SSH access on managed
systems.
If you select this option, you must select one of the following options:
• Host based authentication for SSH
Note: For this option to work, the user name and password provided in step 2 must be an
administrative level account. For Linux or HP-UX targets, it must be the root account and
password.
• Each user has to be authenticated on the managed system
Note: If you do not want all users that have sign-in access to HP SIM to run the tool and you
would like to control which users need to have access, this option is more secure.
Note: You can configure SSH only if the OpenSSH service is running on the managed systems.
You can install OpenSSH on Windows systems by running the Install Open SSH or by
selecting the tool under Deploy→Deploy Drivers→Firmware and Agents→Install Open
SSH.
• Set Trust relationship to "Trust by Certificate" Select this option to configure systems to use the
Trust by Certificate trust relationship with the HP SIM.
For HP SIM on the target systems, this option sets the trust mode to Trust by Certificate and copies
the HP SIM system certificate to the target system trusted certificate directory. This option enables
HP SIM users to connect to the HP SMH using the certificate for authentication.
You can configure SSO to management processors for Onboard Administrator and for iLO2. To
configure SSO, select Set Trust Relationship. After you configure SSO, you are not continually
prompted to supply the login credentials for the management processor.
Note: For systems with Management HTTP Server 4.x and earlier, Configure or Repair Agents
adds the Administrator password in the Management HTTP Server store and modifies the SNMP
settings but cannot change trust relationship information.
Select the checkbox beside Import Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate for HP SIM to trust the HP
SMH of the managed system. This option is only valid for HP-UX and Linux operating systems.
• Configure Version Control Agent (VCA) Select this option to configure the HP VCA to point to
the HP VCRM, where the repository of software and firmware is located, enabling version
comparison and software updates. This option is available only for Windows systems. This section
can be accessed in the Configuration section of all CMS systems including Windows, HP-UX,
and Linux.
To configure HP VCA:
1. In the Select the system where the HP VCRM is installed field, select a server from the
dropdown list.
2. In the User Name field, enter the user name to access the HP VCRM. This user cannot be the
default administrator user, and must have administrative privileges.
3. In the Password field, enter the password to access the HP VCRM.
4. In the Confirm Password field, re-enter the password for the HP VCRM.
• Set administrator password for Insight Management Agents version 7.1 or earlier Select this
option to repair the administrator password on all Insight Management Agents installed on the
target systems as applicable for Windows and Linux systems.
Note: Do not set this option if you have Insight Management Agents 7.2 or later installed.
Note: If the remote system is running HP-UX, this option is not executed on the remote system
because it is not applicable on HP-UX systems. If you are configuring only HP-UX target systems,
you do not need to set this option.
If you select this option, you must complete the following steps:
a. In the Password field, enter the new administrator password.
b. In the Confirm Password field, re-enter the new administrator password.
