If you have not yet added user groups into HP SMH security settings, then users must log in with an

operating system account in the Administrators group for Windows or the operating system group

root (which in turn contains the user root by default) for HP-UX and Linux. If the credentials cannot be

authenticated, the user is denied access. Administrator on Windows and root on HP-UX or Linux have

Signing in with Mozilla and Firefox

1. Navigate to https://hostname:2381/.

If you use Mozilla or Firefox to browse to an HP-UX system, then you can use port 2381 if you changed

the default configuration to have autostart disabled and start on boot enabled. If you keep the

default-installed configuration, you can use the following URL: http://hostname:2301/

By default, HP-UX is installed with the autostart feature enabled. A daemon listens on port 2301

and only starts HP SMH on port 2381 when requested, then stops it again after a timeout period. See

the

smhstartconfig

(1M) command for more information.

The first time you browse to the HP SMH URL, the Website Certified by an Unknown Authority dialog

box appears, asking you to indicate whether to trust the server. If you do not select Accept this

certificate permanently, the Website Cer tified by an Unknown Authority dialog box appears

every time you use a browser.

authenticated, the user is denied access. Administrator on Windows and root on HP-UX and Linux

If the daemon is not running, you can start it from the HP-UX command line using /opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh

autostart, then use a web browser to navigate to http://hostname:2301.

You can also use the samweb command to automatically start the default browser in the main HP SMH page.
