A configuration mechanism enables the administrator to customize the image and the message in the Sign
In page. The administrator can use a custom logo and warning message. As the pages load, HP SMH verifies
if the personalized content is enabled and available. If the content is not available, HP SMH uses the standard

Starting HP System Management Homepage (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.
If you are browsing to an HP-UX server, by default you must use http://hostname:2301/.
By default, HP-UX is installed with the autostart feature enabled. A daemon listens on port 2301,
and starts HP SMH on port 2381 when requested, then stops it after a timeout period. You can also
configure HP SMH to always run on port 2381. For more information, see the
smhstartconfig(1M)
command.
If the Start on Boot feature is enabled (instead of autostart), a message window appears, which
explains the security features. Wait a few seconds to be redirected to port 2381 or click the link at the
bottom of the message. The System Management Homepage sign in page appears.
For more information about procedures on changing the configuration variables, see the HP System
Management Homepage Installation Guide on the HP Technical Documentation Web site at http://
