Browser issues on operating systems released prior to 2004
Browsers on operating systems released prior to 2004 that do not have the latest security related
patches and updates applied might not be able to connect to the Onboard Administrator web interface.
Onboard Administrator 3.70 changed the default certificate hash algorithm from SHA1 to SHA256.
SHA256 support was not generally available until after 2003. Ensure that the following minimum
requirements for each operating system are met to support SHA256:
o
Windows XP requires SP3.
o
Windows 2003 Server SP2 requires an update to support SHA256. For more information see, the
Microsoft Support website
o
Red Hat 4 was originally shipped with OpenSSL 0.9.7, which does not support SHA256. Update
the operating system with the appropriate RPM to use OpenSSL 0.9.8 or later.

Certain browsers are unable to access Onboard Administrator if the Onboard Administrator certificate
is generated using SHA-224 as SSL hash signature
OA 3.70 allows the hash signature algorithm to be changed. If a SHA1 certificate is needed in your
network infrastructure, use the Onboard Administrator GENERATE KEY command to change the key
size and hash algorithm.
NOTE:
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Safari browsers may not be able to
access the Onboard Administrator web interface if the Onboard Administrator certificate is
generated using SHA-224 as SSL hash signature when running on Windows XP, Windows Vista
and Windows 7. SHA-224 is not the default hash function for Onboard Administrator self-signed
certificates.

Some browsers do not support the "%scope_id" notation with an IPv6 link local address. Certain
browsers might accept a web address using this notation, but certain features might be lost when the
address is used for accessing the Onboard Administrator. The Onboard Administrator GUI features
effected include Insight Display and the Configuration Scripts screen configuration gathering (SHOW
CONFIG) and SHOW ALL features.

An issue exists with the Emulex firmware prior to version 4.1.450.7 that can result in the DCC being
unavailable with a 10Gb physical link. When this issue exists for full height G7 and Gen8 server blades
(including the HP ProLiant BL680 G7, BL685c G7, BL620 G7, and BL660 Gen8) with HP NC55x LOMs
or FLB554 FlexibleLOMs configured in a Virtual Connect environment, a loss of network connectivity
might occur when updating the OA firmware from version 3.56 or earlier to version 3.60 or later.
