Caution: HP does not recommend the use of anonymous access.
•

Local Access is disabled by default. Enabling Local Access allows
a user to locally gain access to the System Management Homepage without being
challenged for authentication, which means that any user with access to the local
console is granted full access if Administrator is selected. If Anonymous is
selected, any local user has access limited to unsecured pages without being
challenged for a user name and password.
Caution: HP does not recommend the use of local access unless your management
server software enables it.

This mode is the strongest method of security because it requires certificate data
and verifies the digital signature before allowing access. If you do not want to
enable any remote configuration changes, leave Trust by Certificate selected,
