• Anonymous Access (not recommended) Anonymous Access is disabled by default. Enabling
Anonymous Access enables a user to access the HP SMH without logging in. Select this
option to allow anonymous access.
• Local Access (not recommended) Local Access is disabled by default. Enabling Local Access
enables a user to locally gain access to the HP SMH without being challenged for
authentication, which means that any user with access to the local console is granted full
access if Administrator is selected. If Anonymous is selected, any local user has access
limited to unsecured pages without being challenged for a user name and password.
HP does not recommend the use of local access unless your management server software
enables it.
h. Click Next, and then click Save to save your changes, or click Cancel to discard the changes and

i. Select one of the following Trust Mode security options:
• Trust by Certificate (strongly recommended) Sets the HP System Management Homepage
(HP SMH) to accept configuration changes from HP SIM servers with trusted certificates. This
mode requires the submitted server to provide authentication through certificates. This mode
is the strongest method of security because it requires certificate data and verifies the digital
signature before allowing access. If you do not want to enable any remote configuration
changes, leave Trust by Certificate selected, and leave the list of trusted systems empty by
avoiding importing any certificates.
To trust by certificate:
a. Select Trust by Certificate, and then click Next.
b. In the Certificate Name field, click Bro wse to select the certificate file. After the certificate
file is selected, the certificate data appears on the screen.
c. Click Add. The certificate appears under Certificate Files.
