The Login page enables you to access the Home page, which contains the available HP Insight Management Agents.

To log in to the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) with Internet Explorer:

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

    If you are browsing to an HP-UX server, by default you must instead use the URI: 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. You can also configure HP SMH to always be running on port 2381. See the smhstartconfig(1M) command for more information.

    You can find procedures on how to change the configuration variables in the HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide on the HP Technical Documentation Web site at http://docs.hp.com.

  2. The first time you browse to this URI, 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 HP SMH through a link from HP Systems Insight Manager (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, refer to Getting Started - Automatically Importing Certificates.

  3. Click [Yes].

    The Login page appears. If you have enabled Anonymous access, then HP SMH appears.

  4. Enter your user name that is recognized by the operating system.

    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, the operating system group root (which in turn contains the user root by default) for Linux, and as root for HP-UX. If the credentials cannot be authenticated, the user is denied access.

    In most cases, the administrator on Windows and root on HP-UX or Linux have administrator access on HP SMH.

  5. Enter the password that is recognized by the operating system.

  6. On HP-UX, click [Sign In]. On Linux and Windows, click [Login]. HP SMH appears.

To log in to HP SMH with Mozilla:

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

    If you are browsing to an HP-UX server, by default you must instead use the URI: 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.

    The first time you browse to the URI, 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 Certified by an Unknown Authority dialog box appears every time you use a browser.

  2. Click [OK].

    The Login page appears. If you have enabled Anonymous access, then HP SMH appears.

  3. Enter your user name that is recognized by the operating system.
