The configuration settings for the Management HTTP Server are stored in three files. The passwords for the

Management HTTP Server are stored in

/var/spool/compaq/wbem/cpqhmmd.acl

.

The configuration settings for the Management HTTP Server that existed through version 3.x is stored in

/var/spool/compaq/wbem/homepage/cpqhmmd.ini

.

The configuration settings for the Management HTTP Server that were introduced in version 4.x and later are stored in

/var/spool/compaq/wbem/homepage/cpqhmmdx.ini

.

To deploy the Management HTTP Server configuration to other servers, copy the corresponding ACL file and INI files

previously listed.
Three types of data exists:

Default (read only)

Sets (read/write)

Reboot (read/write).

The

.INI

files located in

/opt/compaq/webagent

are the configuration files used by the Web-Enabled HP Insight

Management Agents.

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.

What is 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
