Additionally, HP Version Control also supports Single Sign On (SSO) system that allows a trusted

HP VCA the ability to connect to the HP VCRM without providing authentication details to login to

HP VCRM's HP SMH. When the Using Certificate option is selected during configuring the firewall

exceptions, HP SMH processes the SSO request depending on the Trust Mode selected. For more

information about configuring the firewall exception, see HP Version Control Agent User Guide.

HP SMH obtains the HP VCA 's HP SMH public certificate and uses it to validate the trust

relationship. If HP SMH is unable to establish the trust relationship or cannot verify the security

token, then HP VCA displays the following error message:The specified repository, VCRM IP, is

invalid or not reachable.

NOTE: To import a certificate, see HP System Management Homepage Installation and

Configuration Guide.
