OS, complete one of the following procedures:
To view data locally, access through either of the following connections:
Secure connection: https://127.0.0.2381
Unsecure connection: http://localhost:2301
To view data remotely, access through http://machine:2301, where machine is the IP
address or the computer name under DNS.
To access Insight Management Agents from a browser running on a machine running Novell
NetWare or operating systems other than Microsoft, and to view data locally, use either of
the following connections:
Secure connection: https://127.0.0.2381
Unsecure connection: http://localhost:2301
To view data remotely, access https://machine:2381, where machine is the IP address or
the computer name under DNS.
NOTE: Notice that the URL is followed by 2301. This is the port or socket number that the
HP Insight Management Agents for Servers use to communicate with the browser. If this number
is not specified, your browser might attempt to connect to another Web page if the managed
server is running a Web Server.
NOTE: Notice that the URL is followed by 2381 which identifies secured way of accessing
the URL, which starts with https.
NOTE: Both the IP address 127.0.0.1 and the localhost are the same. They can be used
interchangeably.
After you enter the URL, the System Management Homepage appears.
Security
The HP Insight Management Agents allow SNMP sets for some system parameters. This capability
requires security that includes three users namely; Administrator, Operator and User. On Windows
and Linux operating systems only administrator can set SNMP sets. This can be achieved by logging
to System Management Home page using administrative access privileges."
NOTE: These are the only user accounts available in this release, and they cannot be changed
except for the password. Under Tru64 UNIX, the account names, user names, and passwords are
lowercase characters.
The Web-Enabled HP Management Agents for Servers for NetWare is located in the
WEBAGENT.INI file in the SYS:\SYSTEM\CPQMGMT\WEBAGENT directory. It specifies the level
of user who has access to data. The read=” and write=” entries in the file set the user accounts
required for access, where:
0 = no access
1 = anonymous
2 = user
3 = operator
4 = administrator
Changing these entries changes the security level.
