HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows

NOTE: By using IP addresses instead of names, you might encounter security
alerts, if the name in the managed system certificate does not match the name in
the link. The default certificate for managed systems uses the system name, not the
IP address.
Reason 2: For managed systems, the privacy policy setting in Internet Explorer 6.0
blocks the authentication cookies from the managed systems.
Solution 2A: (Recommended) Remove the systems from the Internet Zone. The privacy
policy affects only systems in the browser Internet Zone. Therefore, by removing
systems from that zone, you prevent the privacy policy from affecting those systems.
To change the browser privacy policy setting, select Tools→Internet Options, and
then click the Privacy tab from the Internet Explorer browser menu. Modify the
privacy setting in one of the following ways:
• Browse to systems by IP address instead of by name can cause the browser
to consider those systems to be in the Internet Zone. Instead, browse by name.
You can configure Systems Insight Manager to use system names when creating
links to systems by selecting Options→Security→System Link Configuration
and selecting Use the system name.
• If your browser is configured to use a proxy server, you can configure your
browser to bypass the proxy server for specific systems, which removes those
systems from the browser Internet Zone. From the browser menu, select
Tools→Internet Options, and then click the Connections tab. Click LAN Settings,
and if you are configured to use a proxy server, click Advanced. In the
Exceptions list, you can specify a list of addresses that bypass the proxy server.
These addresses are no longer in the Internet Zone and are not affected by
the privacy settings policy.
1. From the browser menu, select Tools→Internet Options.
2. Click the Connections tab.
3. Click LAN Settings.
4. Click Advanced.
5. Enter the address of the CMS in the Exceptions list, and then click OK.
NOTE: You might also need to add the addresses of your managed
systems. To enter multiple systems in the same domain, you can use a
wildcard. For example: https://*.scr.mt.com.
Addresses in the Exceptions list are no longer in the Internet Zone, and
are not affected by the privacy settings policy.
6. Click OK to close the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings window.
7. Click the Security tab.
8. Click the Local intranet icon, and then the Sites button.
9. Ensure the options for Include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other
zones and Include all sites that bypass the proxy server are enabled.
10. Click OK twice to close both windows.
Solution 2B: (Not Recommended) Change the browser privacy security policy
setting. From the Internet Explorer browser menu, select Tools→Internet Options,
and then click the Privacy tab. The privacy setting can be modified in one of the
following ways:
• Set the privacy setting to Accept all Cookies by sliding the slider bar to the
bottom. This setting allows a browser to accept all cookies for both first-party
and third-party sites. When browsing to Systems Insight Manager or directly
