Starting HP SMH from Mozilla or Firefox
To sign in to HP SMH with Mozilla or Firefox:
1. Navigate to https://hostname:2381/.
By default, HP-UX is installed with the autostart feature enabled. A daemon listens on port 2301,
and starts HP SMH on port 2381 when requested, then stops it after a timeout period. You can also
configure HP SMH to always run on port 2381. For more information, see the smhstartconfig (1M)
command.
If the Start on Boot feature is enabled (instead of autostart), a message window appears, which
explains the security features. Wait a few seconds to be redirected to port 2381 or click the link at the
bottom of the message. The System Management Homepage sign in page appears.
