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

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

HP 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 HP Systems Insight Manager or directly to a managed system,

it is considered a first-party site. When navigating to a managed system through HP

Systems Insight Manager, the system is considered a third-party site.

• Customize the handling of cookies by clicking Advanced and enabling Override

automatic cookie handling. Then select the appropriate radio buttons for first-party

and third-party cookies to Accept or Prompt. If you select Prompt, the browser prompts

you on how to handle a cookie each time a cookie is received. You can choose to block
