If no HP Web-enabled System Management Software is installed that provides this information,
then none is displayed.
The Other Agents area on the Tools page lists the visible HP Web-enabled System Management
Software that does not participate in HP SMH. The name of the HP Web-enabled System
Management Software provides a link so that you can still access the agents if they provide a

Kerberos
Authentication
Server A service whose sole purpose is to authenticate user account records. The AS serves as an
introducer for the user and the service through the use of a shared secret key registered with the
AS.
Kerberos Key
Distribution Center Kerberos Key Distribution Center, composed of the Authentication Server and the Ticket Granting
Server.
Kerberos Ticket
Granting Server Adds an extra layer of indirection so that the user only needs to enter in a password once;
the ticket and session key obtained from that password is used for all further tickets. Before
accessing any regular service, the user requests a ticket from the Authentication Server (AS) to
talk to the TGS. This ticket is called the
ticket granting ticket or TGT; it is also sometimes called
the initial ticket. The session key for the TGT is encrypted using the user's long-term key, so the
password is needed to decrypt it from the AS's reponse to the user.
