HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Technical Reference Guide

• Set Trust relationship to "Trust by Certificate"
Select this option to configure systems to use the Trust by Certificate trust relationship with
the Systems Insight Manager.
For Systems Insight Manager on the target systems, this option sets the trust mode to Trust
by Certificate and copies the Systems Insight Manager system certificate to the target
system trusted certificate directory. This option enables Systems Insight Manager users to
connect to the SMH using the certificate for authentication.
You can configure SSO to management processors for Onboard Administrator and for
remote management. To configure SSO, select Set Trust Relationship. After you configure
SSO, you are not continually prompted to supply the login credentials for the management
processor.
NOTE: For systems with Management HTTP Server 5.x and earlier, the Configure or
Repair Agents setting adds the Administrator password in the Management HTTP Server
store and modifies the SNMP settings, but it cannot change trust relationship information.
Select the checkbox beside Import Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate for Systems Insight
Manager to trust the HP SMH of the managed system. This option is only valid for HP-UX
and Linux operating systems.
• Configure HP Version Control Agent
Select this option to configure the VCA to point to the HP Version Control Repository
Manager, where the repository of software and firmware is located, enabling version
comparison and software updates. This option is available for Windows and Linux systems.
To configure VCA:
1. In the Select the system where the VCRM is installed field, select a server from the
dropdown list.
2. In the User Name field, enter the user name to access the VCRM. This user cannot
be the default administrator user, and must have administrative privileges.
3. In the Password field, enter the password to access the VCRM.
4. In the Password (verify) field, re-enter the password for the VCRM.
NOTE: HP VCA can also be connected to HP VCRM through the certificate option.
5. In the Domain (Optional) field, enter the domain for the HP VCA.
• Set administrator password for Insight Management Agents 7.1 or earlier
Select this option to repair the administrator password on all Insight Management Agents
installed on the target systems as applicable for Windows and Linux systems.
NOTE: Do not set this option if you have Insight Management Agents 7.2 or later
installed.
NOTE: If the remote system is running HP-UX, this option is not executed on the remote
system because it is not applicable on HP-UX systems. If you are configuring only HP-UX
target systems, you do not need to set this option.
If you select this option, you must complete the following steps:
a. In the Password field, enter the new administrator password.
b. In the Password (verify) field, re-enter the new administrator password.
2. Click Next. The Step 4: Enter credentials page appears.
