HP System Management Homepage 7.0 Installation Guide

Signing in with Microsoft Internet Explorer
1. Navigate to https://hostname:2381/.
To avoid an active scripting error, HP recommends that you add the HP SMH web address
to Internet Explorer Trusted Sites.
To add HP SMH to Internet Explorer trusted sites:
a. From Internet Explorer, click Tools ⇒ Internet Options.
b. Click the Security tab. The Security tab appears.
c. Select the Trusted sites icon.
d. Click Sites.... The Trusted sites dialog box appears.
e. In the Add this website to the zone field, enter https://hostname:2381/ and click
Add.
f. Click OK to save your changes and close the Trusted sites dialog box.
g. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
If you use Internet Explorer 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, or if you have disabled port 2301. If you keep the default-installed configuration,
you can use the following URL: http://hostname:2301/
NOTE: You can also use the port 1188 to access HP SMH. This port is used by the Tomcat
instance of the HP SMH.
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 this link, the Security Alert dialog box appears, asking you to
indicate whether to trust the server. If you do not import the certificate, the Security Alert
appears every time you browse to HP SMH.
If you want to implement your own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or install your own generated
certificates into each managed system, you can install a certificate authority root certificate
into each browser to be used for management. If this is implemented, the Security Alert dialog
box does not appear. If the alert appears when you do not expect it, you might have browsed
to the wrong system. You can refer to the online help in your browser for more information
about installing the certificate authority root certificate.
If you are accessing this page through a link from HP SIM and the Trust By Certificate option
is enabled in HP SMH, the Automatically Import Management Server Certificate option appears
if trust has not been previously configured. For more information regarding automatically
importing the HP SIM certificate, see the HP System Management Homepage Online Help.
2. Click Yes. The Sign In page appears unless you have enabled Anonymous access, then the
HP System Management Homepage appears.
3. Enter a user name.
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 administrator access on HP SMH.
4. Enter a password.
5. Click Sign In. HP SMH appears.
