HP Systems Insight Manager 7.3 User Guide

Configuring the browser in Firefox:
Firefox must be configured with a list of sites (for example, the CMS) where automatic sign-in can
be performed, and should be restricted to local intranet sites. This list can be configured by entering
about:config in the Firefox address bar. From the list of Preference Names, select
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and either double-click or right-click, and select Modify. Here,
you can specify a comma-separated list of URLs or domains, enter the list of URLs used to access
HP SIM. For example: https://cms_fqdn, where cms_fqdn is the FQDN of the CMS.
Behavior
When automatic sign-in occurs, an intermediate sign-in page appears. If you click Cancel from this
page, the manual sign-in page appears. You might want to cancel automatic sign-in if any
unexpected network or domain errors occur. If any browser configuration errors are detected,
automatic sign-in is cancelled and the manual sign-in page appears along with the configuration
error.
Failures encountered during automatic sign-in are logged as normal sign-in failures in both the
audit log and the event log. If automatic sign-in is not attempted, no failure is detected or logged
by HP SIM.
If automatic sign-in is configured, you can manually sign in to HP SIM.
• If automatic sign-in fails, the manual sign-in page appears
This might occur if you are logged in to the operating system using an account that is not an
HP SIM account.
• If automatic sign-in is not attempted
This might occur if the browser is not properly configured for automatic sign-in, or the feature
is disabled in HP SIM.
• If you click Sign Out from HP SIM
This enables you to specify another user account to use if you are signed in to the operating
system with a different account.
