For a complete instructions on how to use this tool, see the HP System Management Homepage User Guide, found here: http:// www.hp.com/go/windows-on-integrity-docs Accessing WebAgents The following section describes how to access WebAgents through a browser using SMH: 1. On a system with a network connection to the server, open a compatible browser. 2. Enter one of the following URLs: http://machine:2301/ https://machine:2381/ Replace machine with the IP address or the computer name under DNS. The first time you navigate to this link, a Security Alert dialog box displays and asks if you want to trust the server. You should click Yes to continue. NOTE: The Security Alert dialog box is unique to the Internet Explorer browser. To implement your own PKI or install generated certificates into each managed device, you can install a Certificate Authority Root Certificate into each browser used for management.

For more information about installing the Certificate Authority Root Certificate, see the online help in your browser. 3. The Sign In page displays.

This applies only when using SSO from HP SIM and the trust mode is set to TrustByCert). NOTE: If an error occurs on a sign-in attempt, you are returned to the Sign In page. A configuration mechanism enables the administrator to customize the image and the message in the Sign In page, such as a custom logo and warning message. As the pages load, SMH checks if personalized content is enabled and available. If such content is not available, SMH uses the default image and warning message.
