Starting HP SMH from Internet Explorer

To sign in to HP SMH with Internet Explorer:

1.

Navigate to https://hostname:2381/.

The first time you browse to this URI, the Security Alert dialog box appears, prompting 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.

.

NOTE:

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 a Root Certificate is implemented, the Security Alert dialog box does not
appear. If the alert appears, you might have browsed to the wrong system. For more information about
installing the certificate authority Root Certificate, see the online help in your browser.

2.

Click Yes.

The Sign In page appears. If you have enabled Anonymous access during installation, then System
