1 Access Problems

SMH Documentation Unclear on Treatment of securetty.
The HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) does not use /etc/securetty. See

2 Browser Problems

2.1

When I sign into HP SMH and close the browser, the HP SMH session is not ended. If I reopen Internet
Explorer, after closing it I can sign into HP SMH without credentials. How can I fix this problem?

Under Settings Browsing, deselect Reuse windows for launching shortcuts (when tabbed browsing
is off).

2.2 When I use Internet Explorer 6.0 in Windows, why do I see warnings in the Security Alert dialog box

when I sign in to the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH)?
There are two possible warnings:

Warning 1: The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not
match the name of the site.

This warning occurs when you browse to HP SMH using an IP address. This warning also occurs
if you browse locally using localhost for the machine name.

Warning 2: The security certificate was issued by a company you have not
chosen to trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to

trust the CA.

The

certificate

is issued by HP SMH. You can add the certificate to your Trusted Certificate List

and the warning goes away.

2.3 Opening a second Mozilla browser can appear as an unauthorized signin into HP SMH.
