NOTE: HP SMH uses the root certificate, intermediate certificate, and the Certificate Root
List (CRL) of the certificate to verify the revocation status of trusted certificate used for SSO. If
the certificate is found to be revoked or an error is encountered during verification, HP SMH
does not allow the user to access HP SMH through SSO and redirects the user to the login
page. HP SMH displays the following warning message on the login screen when the SSL
certificate is revoked: Failed to verify CA signed certificate used by SMH.
