9 Troubleshooting

NOTE:

If noted, a topic may only apply to the HP-UX, Linux, or Windows operating system.

Access Problems

SMH Documentation Unclear on Treatment of securetty

Solution: The HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) does not use /etc/securetty.
Refer to the login(1)for details on /etc/securetty.

After entering a hostname on Linux, HP SMH does not start.

Solution: Hostnames that are 64 characters or longer in length are not supported on Linux.

The breadcrumb links presented in the HP SMH top frame only display the current location
within the HP SMH menu structure up to the plugin name, but not including the names of
internal plugin pages.

Solution: Use the buttons and links provided inside the plug-in pages to cancel an operation or
move to a different plug-in page.

Browser Problems

When I log into HP SMH and then close the browser, the HP SMH session is not killed. If I
go back and open Internet Explorer, after closing it, I can log into HP SMH without credentials.

Solution: There are two possible solutions in order to be sure the HP SMH shortcut will ask for
credentials.
