Requesting the HP SIM certificate
Enter the HP SIM server name in the appropriate field, and then click the corresponding Get Cert
button. The managed system makes an HTTP request directly to the HP SIM server for its certificate.
Note: Because this is a nonsecure request over HTTP, a malicious party could intercept the request
and substitute an untrusted certificate in response to the request. A more secure method for obtaining
the HP SIM certificate is described in “Importing the HP SIM certificate” (page 436) for more
information.
