Configuring Internet Explorer firewall settings

Some operating systems, including Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and Windows Server

2003 SBS, implement a firewall that prevents browsers from accessing the ports required

for the HP VCRM access. To resolve this issue, you must configure the firewall with

exceptions to allow browsers to access the ports used by HP Systems Insight Manager and

HP VCRM.

NOTE:

For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, this configuration leaves the default SP2

security enhancements intact, but allows traffic over the ports. These ports are

required for the HP VCRM to run. The secure and insecure ports must be added

to enable proper communication with your browser.

To configure the firewall:

1. Select Start

Settings Control Panel.

2. Double-click Windows Firewall to configure the firewall settings.

3. Select Exceptions.

4. Click [Add Port].

You must enter the product name and the port number.

Add the following exceptions to the firewall protection:

Product Port Number

HP SMH Insecure Port: 2301

HP SMH Secure Port: 2381

5. Click [OK] to save your settings and close the Add a Port dialog box.

6. Click [OK] to save your settings and close the Windows Firewall dialog box.
