if the personalized content is enabled and available. If the content is not available, HP SMH uses the standard

Starting HP SMH from Internet Explorer
To sign in to HP SMH with Internet Explorer:
1. Navigate to https://hostname:2381/.
The first time you browse to this URI, the Security Alert dialog box appears, prompting you to indicate
whether to trust the server. If you do not import the
certificate , the Security Alert appears every time you
browse to HP SMH.
For more information about procedures on changing the configuration variables, see the HP System
Management Homepage Installation Guide on the HP Technical Documentation Web site at http://
docs.hp.com .
NOTE: To implement your own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or install your own generated certificates
into each managed system, you can install a certificate authority Root Certificate into each browser to
be used for management. If a Root Certificate is implemented, the Security Alert dialog box does not
appear. If the alert appears, you might have browsed to the wrong system. For more information about
installing the certificate authority Root Certificate, see the online help in your browser.
2. Click Yes.
The Sign In page appears. If you have enabled Anonymous access during installation, then System
Management Homepage appears.
3. Enter your user name that is recognized by the operating system.
•
Linux HP SMH initially allows access to users belonging to the root operating system group.
•
Windows HP SMH allows access to users belonging to the Administrators operating system
group.
If the user credentials cannot be authenticated, the user is denied access.
After logging into HP SMH as an initially allowed user, use the Security Settings to grant access to users
in other operating system groups.
