NOTE:

For this option to work, the user name and password provided in Step 4:

Enter credentials must be an administrative level account. For Linux or HP-UX targets,
it must be the root account and password.

◦

Each user has to be authenticated on the managed system

NOTE:

If you do not want all users that have sign-in access to HP SIM to run the

tool and you would like to control which users need to have access, this option is
more secure.

NOTE:

You can configure SSH only if the OpenSSH service is running on the

managed systems. You can install OpenSSH on Windows systems by running the
Install Open SSH or by selecting the tool under Deploy

→Deploy Drivers, Firmware

and Agents

→Install Open SSH.

Set Trust relationship to "Trust by Certificate"

Select this option to configure systems to use the Trust by Certificate trust relationship with
the HP SIM.

For HP SIM on the target systems, this option sets the trust mode to Trust by Certificate
and copies the HP SIM system certificate to the target system trusted certificate directory.
This option enables HP SIM users to connect to the HP SMH using the certificate for
authentication.

You can configure SSO to management processors for Onboard Administrator and for
remote management. To configure SSO, select Set Trust Relationship. After you configure
SSO, you are not continually prompted to supply the login credentials for the management
processor.

NOTE:

For systems with Management HTTP Server 5.x and earlier, the Configure or

Repair Agents setting adds the Administrator password in the Management HTTP Server
store and modifies the SNMP settings, but it cannot change trust relationship information.

Select the checkbox beside Import Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate for HP SIM to
trust the HP SMH of the managed system. This option is only valid for HP-UX and Linux
operating systems.
