HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Server - Manual (Page 18)

System Management Homepage. Some web applications restrict viewing of critical information from individuals
with User access.
• Local Server Certificate
• Current Certificate—SMH allows setting a certificate with alternative names in addition to the Common
Name (CN). Server names are separated by semi-colons without blank spaces. Any changes in Alternative
Names here affect only the current certificate
• Create PKCS #10 Data— The System Management Homepage can create Certificate Request (PKCS #10)
data which can be sent to a Certificate Authority (CA) at a later time. This data is base64 encoded. The CA
processes this request and return a response file (PKCS #7) which can be imported into the System
Management Homepage. Use the top-left box to create the PKCS #10 Certificate Request data.
The two following fields may be optionally specified. If not specified, they are automatically filled in with
"Hewlett-Packard Company" for the Organization and "Hewlett-Packard Network Management Software
(SMH)" for the Organizational Unit.
SMH allows you to add alternative names to the Certificate Request, in addition to the Common Name
(CN).
• Import PKCS #7 Data—The System Management Homepage imports base64 encoded PKCS #7 data which
a Certificate Authority returned based upon an earlier Certificate Request (PKCS #10). Cut-and-paste the
PKCS #7 information into the text box in the left and press the button to import it into the System
Management Homepage
• Port 2301—Option to enable port id : 2301
• Timeouts—Users with Administrator access can set the session timeout to between 1 and 60 minutes (the default
value is 15 minutes). When a session timeout occurs, the user has to log in again. Users with Administrator
access can set the user interface timeout to between 10 and 3600 seconds (the default value is 20 seconds).
This is the maximum amount of time the System Management Homepage waits for requested information
• Trust Mode—Other Trust Modes are considered less secure than certificate based trust modes. HP strongly
recommends using Trust by Certificate. Trust by name have a limit of five allowed Server certificate names
• Trusted Management Servers—Certificates are used to establish the trust relationship between Systems Insight
Manager or Insight Manager 7 and the System Management Homepage. To add a certificate to the Trusted
Certificates list: Select Import Certificate Data option, copy and paste the base64 encoded certificate into the
text box and press the Import button. or Select Add Certificate From Server option, type Server Name into the
text box and press Add button. The certificate information is presented for verification/confirmation before it is
added to the list.
• User Guides—Users with Administrator access can view and set all information provided through the System
Management Homepage. The appropriate default user group (Administrators for Microsoft operating systems
and root for Linux) always has administrative access. Windows systems that are part of a domain may specify
domain groups as well as local groups for any level of access. Users with Operator access can view and set
most information provided through the System Management Homepage. Some web applications limit access to
the most critical information to administrators only. Users with User access can view most information provided
through the System Management Homepage. Some web applications restrict viewing of critical information from
individuals with User access.
UI Properties
You can change the default look for SMH components. Listview displays it as boxes with children items inside and
iconview shows each item as an icon.
You can also change the order in which boxes and items in boxes are displayed. You may choose to display items
either alphabetically or by status, in which case more critical items are listed first.
Enabling the use of custom imagery and warning text provides the ability to customize the sign in and header images
as well as adding a small text in the sign in page.
