Configuring browser support
In addition to normal HTTP, access to the application must be allowed through HTTPS (HTTP exchanged over
an SSL-encrypted session). The HP Virtual Connect Manager Web interface requires that both HTTP (Port 80)
and HTTPS (port 443) are enabled on the management network.
For optimal viewing, HP recommends setting the screen resolution to 1280 x 1024.
Requirements
The HP Virtual Connect Manager Web interface requires an XSLT-enabled browser with support for
JavaScript 1.3 or equivalent.
The following browsers are supported:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x or higher. Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 is supported in Internet Explorer
7 mode only. The IE8 web browser compatibility mode can be set separately for each individual
website. For more information, see the Microsoft website ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956197 ).
• Mozilla Firefox 3.x
If you receive a notice that your browser does not have the required functionality, examine your browser
settings to see if they meet the following requirements or contact your administrator.
When running the same Virtual Connect Manager application in multiple IE7 browser windows on the same
PC, you might experience slower responses by the web browser. This occurs because IE7 defaults to only two
connections from the web browser to the same Virtual Connect Manager web server. To resolve the slow
response in IE7, add the Windows registry setting for MaxConnectionsPerServer and set the value to 6 or
higher:
[HKLM\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Intern
et Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:6
For IE8 web browsers, the MaxConnectionsPerServer registry setting already exists with a default value of 6,
and you should not experience slower responses by the web browser. For more information about increasing
the number of browser connections for IE, see the Microsoft website
( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282402 ).
Mozilla Firefox web browsers default to higher number of browser connections, so no additional settings are
required.
The following browser settings must be enabled before running the application:
• JavaScript
Client-side JavaScript is used extensively by this application. Check the browser settings to make sure
JavaScript is enabled before running the application.
• ActiveX
When using Microsoft Internet Explorer with this application, ActiveX must be enabled. Check the
browser settings to make sure ActiveX is enabled before running the application.
