2 Getting started

To get started with

HP System Management Homepage

(HP SMH), use the following information

when configuring HP SMH and setting up users and security properly.

To configure HP SMH:

On Linux operating systems, HP SMH is installed with default settings. You can configure the
settings using the script /opt/hp/hpsmh/sbin/hpSMHSetup.sh for Itanium systems.

On Windows operating systems, the installation enables you to configure HP SMH settings
during installation.

On both Windows and Linux operating systems, smhconfig allows you to configure the HP
SMH security settings.

NOTE:

To change the configurations for the Linux and Windows operating systems, see the HP

System Management Homepage Installation Guide on the HP Technical Documentation Web site
at

http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/agents/documentation.html

.

To set up user access and security properly:
1.

Add user groups to effectively manage user rights.

2.

Configure the trust mode.

3.

Configure local or anonymous access.

Signing in

The Sign In page enables you to access the Home page, which contains the available

HP Insight

Management Agent

.

NOTE:

The following warning is displayed on the login screen whenever the certificate or the

keys or both are modified:

The certificate and keys used by SMH to establish SSL (https) connections

have been replaced. It might have happened because the previous version

was deleted (accidentally or maliciously) or replaced by another

application (HP SIM replaces the certificate and keys when installed

on top of SMH). Please, verify what happened to the previous version

and take the appropriate actions.

The Sign In page components include:

Two fields to input your user name and password from an account that is part of a valid group
configured in the SMH users groups configuration article.
