HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide, June 2007

3. Enter the user name that is recognized by the operating system.
If you have not yet added user groups into HP SMH security settings, then users must log
in with an operating system account in the Administrators group for Windows or the
operating system group root (which in turn contains the user root by default) for HP-UX
and Linux. If the credentials cannot be authenticated, the user is denied access. In most cases,
the administrator on Windows and root on HP-UX and Linux have administrator access
on HP SMH.
4. Enter the password that is recognized by the operating system.
5. On HP-UX, click Sign In. On Linux and Windows, click Login. HP SMH appears.
Logging in from the HP-UX command line
You can verify whether the autostart daemon is running with the following command:
$ ps -ef | grep smh
root 1789 1 0 Mar 31 ? 0:00 /opt/hpsmh/lbin/smhstartd
If the daemon is not running, you can start it from the HP-UX command line using
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh autostart, then use a web browser to navigate to
http://hostname:2301.
You can also use the samweb command to automatically start the default browser in the main
HP SMH page.
After the daemon is running and the HP-UX Apache-based web server is started with autostart,
you can log in to HP SMH with either http://hostname:2301 or https://hostname:2381.
NOTE: If the autostart daemon is not configured (see the smhstartconfig -a off -b
on), use the command /opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh start instead to start the HP-UX
Apache-based web server on ports 2301 (http) and 2381 (https).
Logging out
Select one of the following options:
• In the System Management Homepage banner, for HP-UX click Sign Out and for Linux and
Windows click logout.
• Close every instance of the web browser that you use to log in to HP SMH.
• You can stop HP SMH from the HP-UX command line: /opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh stop
This will not stop the mini-daemon smhstartd, but will stop the HP-UX Apache-based
web server. The next time you contact HP SMH through http://hostname:2301, the HP-UX
Apache-based web server will again start up on port 2381 (https). If autostart is configured,
the HP-UX Apache-based web server times out automatically after 30 minutes (default
setting).
For more information, go to the hpsmh(1m) manpage: man hpsmh.
