HP Insight Management Agents - Manual (Page 13)

Deploying the configurations to servers running NetWare
In NetWare, the webagent.INI file is located in the sys:\system\cpqmgmt\webagent
directory and specifies the level of a user with access to data. The “read=” and “write=” entries
in the file set the user accounts required for access:
•
0 = No access
•
1 = anonymous
•
2 = user
•
3 = operator
•
4 = administrator
Changing these entries changes the security.
The Web Agent service must be stopped and restarted for any changes to take effect. Do not
modify anything except the read/write levels to change the security.
Management HTTP Server first-time initialization
Introduction
The System Management Homepage is the one-stop-centralized simple view for all the management
information and configuration data generated by Web-Enabled System Management software
and utilities. The status of the management software and utilities installed on the system is aggregated
on the System Management Homepage. Integrated help on the Homepage provides all the pertinent
help information for the management software and utilities on the system.
What is a Management HTTP Server?
The Management HTTP Server is a web server embedded in much of the HP Web-Enabled System
Management software.
Overview
After a product that uses the Management HTTP Server has been installed and configured, a few
things occur the first time the Management HTTP Server is initiated. Upon initialization, the
Management HTTP Server creates a private key and a corresponding self-signed, Base64-encoded
certificate. This process only occurs the first time that the Management HTTP Server is started. The
certificate is stored on the file system as \compaq\wbem\cert.pem. The \compaq\wbem
subdirectory also contains the private key. To protect the key, this subdirectory is only accessible
to administrators if the file system enables it. For private key security reasons, HP recommends that
the Management HTTP Server be installed on Windows NT file systems (NTFS).
NOTE: For Microsoft Windows operating systems, the \compaq\wbem subdirectory must exist
on an NTFS file system for the private key to have administrator-only access through the file.
If the private key has been compromised, the administrator can delete the \compaq\wbem\
cert.pem
file and restart the server. This action prompts the Management HTTP Server to generate
a new certificate and private key.
Logging in
The Login dialog box enables you to access any of the available Web agents. To access an agent,
complete the following steps:
Navigate to https://devicename:2381 . The first time you browse to this link, the Security Alert
dialog box appears prompting you to indicate whether to trust the server.
1. Click Yes. The Login page appears.
