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://

docs.hp.com

.

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

Agents

.

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.

Two buttons under the input fields:

Sign In

Validates the values in the user name and password. If both values are valid, the HP

SMH Home page appears.

Clear

Erases the input values.

The question mark icon, ?, when clicked, displays or hides the tooltip box that displays information
about the authentication mechanism and sign-in process.
