Requesting the HP SIM certificate
Enter the HP SIM server name in the appropriate field, and then click the corresponding Get Cert button.

substitute an untrusted certificate in response to the request. A more secure method for obtaining the HP SIM
certificate is described in “Importing the HP SIM certificate” for more information.
