Starting HP SMH from Mozilla or Firefox

To sign in to HP SMH with Mozilla or Firefox:

1.

Navigate to https://hostname:2381/.

If you are browsing to an HP-UX server, by default you must use http://hostname:2301/.

By default, HP-UX is installed with the autostart feature enabled. A daemon listens on port 2301,
and starts HP SMH on port 2381 when requested, then stops it after a timeout period. You can also
configure HP SMH to always run on port 2381. For more information, see the

smhstartconfig(1M)

command.

If the Start on Boot feature is enabled (instead of autostart), a message window appears, which
explains the security features. Wait a few seconds to be redirected to port 2381 or click the link at the
bottom of the message. The System Management Homepage sign in page appears.

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
