names of the servers you want to trust.
Although the Trust By Name mode is a slightly stronger method of security than the
Trust All mode, it still leaves your system vulnerable to security attacks. The Trust By
i.
Name mode sets up the HP System Management Homepage to only accept certain
requests from servers with the HP SIM names designated in the Trust By Name field.
The Trust By Name option is easy to configure and can prevent non-malicious access.
For example, you might want to use the Trust By Name option if you have a secure
network, but your network has two groups of administrators in two separate divisions.
The Trust By Name option would prevent one group from installing software to the
wrong system. This option does not verify anything other than the HP SIM server name
submitted.
NOTE: The server name cannot contain the following characters:
~ ! ` @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + = " : ' < > ? , | ;

any systems, or click Cancel to close the window and add server names to the list. In
the SMH interface, if you do not enter an HP SIM name (host name) the Apply button
will not be enabled, however during SMH installation the installation will continue after
displaying the error message.
