Configuring browser support
Access to the VCM GUI is provided through HTTPS (HTTP exchanged over an SSL-encrypted session) and
requires HTTPS (port 443) to be enabled on the management network.
For optimal viewing, HP recommends setting the screen resolution to 1280 x 1024.
Requirements
The VCM web interface requires an XSLT-enabled browser with support for JavaScript 1.3 or the equivalent.
The following browsers are supported:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.x and 9.x
• Mozilla Firefox 9.x and ESR 10x
Browsers that provide the required functionality but do not appear in the previous list are not prevented from
running the application, but no support is offered for unlisted browsers.
If you receive a notice that your browser does not have the required functionality, examine your browser
settings to ensure they meet the following requirements or contact your administrator.
The use of third-party browser download managers is not supported or recommended when using Virtual
Connect. The use of third-party download managers might cause problems with some VC file download
functionality not working correctly. For example, when saving the domain configuration, downloading a
support information file, and so on.
For IE8 web browsers, the MaxConnectionsPerServer registry setting already exists with a default value of 6,
and you should not experience slower responses from the web browser. For more information about
increasing the number of browser connections for IE, see the Microsoft website
( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282402 ).
Mozilla Firefox web browsers default to a higher number of browser connections, so no additional settings
are required.
The following browser settings must be enabled before running the application:
• JavaScript
Client-side JavaScript is used extensively by this application. Check the browser settings to make sure
JavaScript is enabled before running the application.
• ActiveX
When using Microsoft Internet Explorer with this application, ActiveX must be enabled. Check the
browser settings to make sure ActiveX is enabled before running the application.
• Adobe Flash Player
• VCM 3.51/3.60 requires Adobe Flash Player 10.x or higher before you can log in. HP recommends
updating to Adobe Flash Player 10.2 or higher. When using IE9, HP recommends using Adobe Flash
Player 10.3.181.16 or higher.
