administrators if the file system enables it. For private key security reasons, HP recommends that the Management
HTTP Server be installed on Windows NT ® file systems (NTFS).
NOTE: For Microsoft Windows operating systems, the \compaq\wbem subdirectory must exist on an NTFS file
system for the private key to have administrator-only access through the file.
If the private key has been compromised, the administrator can delete the \compaq\wbem\cert.pem file and
restart the server. This action prompts the Management HTTP Server to generate a new certificate and private key.
Logging in
The Login dialog box enables you to access any of the available Web agents. To access an agent, complete the
following steps:
1. Navigate to https://devicename:2381 . The first time you browse to this link, the Security Alert dialog box
appears prompting you to indicate whether to trust the server.
NOTE: The Security Alert dialog box shown is specific to Internet Explorer. However, Netscape 4.0 and later
is supported as well.
NOTE: If you want to implement your own Public-key infrastructure (PKI) or install your own generated
certificates into each managed device, you can install a Certificate Authority Root Certificate onto each
browser to be used for management. If this certificate is implemented, the Security Alert dialog box, shown in
the following illustration, should not be displayed. If the alert displays when you do not expect it, you might
have browsed to the wrong device. For more information on installing the Certificate Authority Root Certificate,
see the online help in the browser.
2. Click Yes. The Login page appears.
