To use IPv6 addresses, you need the following browsers: • Windows OS Internet Explorer 7 • Linux OS Mozilla Firefox Note: Internet Explorer 6 cannot handle IPv6 addresses. For more information, see http:// blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2007/02/20/ipv6-uris-in-ie7.aspx and the Microsoft support page at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325414. When browsing secure pages, Internet Explorer 7 might ask you to add the page to its Trusted Site Zone. Even clicking Add, the message returns. In this case, Internet Explorer 7 fails to handle IPv6 URLs since the Internet Explorer parser uses a colon as the separator of the IP address and the Port number. For example, • On IPv4, the HP SMH IP address might be https://127.0.0.1:2381. The IP address is 127.0.0.1 and the port number is 2381. • On IPv6, the HP SMH IP address might be https://[2001:db8:c18:1:21a:4bff:fe4c:c8e0]:2381. The IP address is 2001:db8:c18:1:21a:4bff:fe4c:c8e0 and the port number is 2381 in this case, Internet Explorer looks for a colon as a separator and uses [2001 as the IP address. Choose one of two ways to avoid security warnings when browsing with IPv6 addresses: • Use a DNS name backed by IPv6 addresses. • Add the literal IPv6 address to the Local intranet site or Trusted sites of Internet Explorer 7 without the port number. For example, add http://[ 2001:db8:c18:1:250:8bff:fee2:4ed8] and https://[ 2001:db8:c18:1:250:8bff:fee2:4ed8] without adding the port number. 4.2 Is there an easier way to access the local system with my browser without finding out its IP address? Yes. You can access the local system at https://hostname:2381 or https://127.0.0.1:2381. For HP-UX, you can access the local system at http://hostname:2301 if you keep the default setting of autostart enabled. NOTE: The word localhost does not work in all languages. In addition, if you have a proxy server configured in your browser, you might need to add 127.0.0.1 to the browser list of addresses that should not be proxied. 4.3 When I use the IP Restricted Login feature, entering my server IP address does not have the desired effect. How can I be sure that the local machine IP addresses are recognized by this feature? Enter 127.0.0.1 in addition to the IP addresses of the server if you intend to restrict the local machine. The address 127.0.0.1 is always permitted in the Include section, so it is only restricted if it is explicitly placed in the Exclude section. 4.4 Although an IP restriction is configured, localhost access is not being denied. Why is this happening? If you do not include the IP address for the local host in the Include field, the local host is still granted access because most users do not intend to block local host access. If you do need to block localhost access, enter 127.0.0.1 into the Exclude field under IP Restriction. 4.5 Under IP Restriction, I did not include the system's local IP address or 127.0.0.1 to the Include list, but I can still browse to it locally. As a precaution against users unintentionally locking themselves out of HP SMH access, localhost requests are not denied when the local IP addresses are not mentioned in the Include list. If necessary, the local system's IP address and 127.0.0.1 can be added to the Exclude list, and this setting denies access to any user trying to gain access from the local system. 5 Sign In Problems 5.1 After signing onto the Windows operating system on a ProLiant or Integrity server running HP SMH Version 2.1.3 (or later), the ROTATELOGS.EXE command prompt appears on the screen if SMH is configured to allow interaction with the desktop. When this occurs, one or two smaller command prompt windows appear with messages similar to the following: (drive) :\hp\hpsmh\bin\rotatelogs.exe Troubleshooting 81
