Logging in Windows XP
If HP SMH is installed on a Windows XP system, the following security option must be enabled to log
into HP SMH:
1. Select Control Panel ⇒ Administrative Tools ⇒ Local Security Policy. The Local Security Settings
dialog box appears.
2. Select Local Policies.
3. Select Security Options.
4. Right-click Network Access: Sharing and security model f or local accounts and select Properties.
The Local Security Policy Setting dialog box appears.
Note: The Network Access item may be worded differently, depending on your environment.
5. Select Classic - local users authenticate as themselves.
6. Click OK to save your settings and close the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box.
Logging in with Internet Explorer
To log in to HP SMH with Internet Explorer:
1. Navigate to https://hostname:2381/.
To avoid an active scripting error, HP recommends that you add the HP SMH URL to Internet
Explorer's Trusted Sites.
To add HP SMH to Internet Explorer's Trusted Sites:
a. From Internet Explorer, click Tools ⇒ Internet Options.
b. Click the Security tab. The Security tab appears.
c. Select the Trusted sites icon.
d. Click Sites.... The Trusted sites dialog box appears.
e. In the Add this website to the zone field, enter https://hostname:2381/ and click Add.
f. Click OK to save your changes and close the Trusted sites dialog box.
g. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
If you are using Internet Explorer to browse to an HP-UX system, then you can use port 2381 if you
changed the default configuration to have autostart disabled and start on boot enabled. If
you keep the default-installed configuration, you can use the following URI:
http://hostname:2301/
By default, HP-UX is installed with the autostart feature enabled. A daemon listens on port 2301
and only starts HP SMH on port 2381 when requested, then stops it again after a timeout period. See
the smhstartconfig(1M) command for more information.
