From an HP Systems Insight Manager or HP Insight Manager 7 system, select a link to a system.
If the Trust By Certificate option is selected in HP SMH Settings, click the Security link, and
then click the Trust Mode , and a certificate for the HP SIM system you are accessing has not
been imported into the Trusted Certificates List, the Sign In page displays the Automatically
Import Management Server Certificate option. The Certificate Information retrieved from

Automatically Import Management Server Certificate. Deselecting this option still requires you
to enter login credentials. However, administrator credentials are not required to login.
If you enable HP SMH to automatically import the HP SIM certificate, future access to the
system is seamless. You are not prompted for your login credentials.
