HP System Management Homepage User Guide, May 2005

Why does the browser prompt to accept cookies when accessing a system?

Solution: Browser cookies are required to keep track of user state and security. Cookies must be

enabled in the browser and prompting for acceptance of cookies should be disabled.

How can I tell if my browser is supported?

Solution: The supported browsers are:

You can use the following desktop browser running on an HP-UX Itanium or PA-RISC system that

is connecting to any server type, or a browser running locally on the HP-UX server and displayed

to any desktop via X :

●

Mozilla 1.6

You can use the following desktop browsers running on a Windows Itanium or x86 system that

are connecting to any server type :

●

Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater

●

Mozilla 1.5

●

Mozilla 1.6

You can use the following desktop browsers running on a Linux IPF or x86 system that are connecting

to any server type :

●

I can log in to HP-UX with http://hostname/2301/, but not

http://hostname/2381/?

Solution: By default, HP-UX is installed with the autostart feature enabled. A daemon listens on

port 2301 and only starts the System Management Homepage on port 2381 when requested, then

stops it again after a timeout period. See the smhstartconfig(1M) command for more

information.

When I browse to https://ipaddress:2381 on a local machine running Windows

2003, I don't see the Login screen.

Solution: Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows 2003 sometimes causes only the Account Login text

in a blue bar to appear instead of the entire Login page. This issue only occurs when browsing

on a local system. Rather than specifying the IP address in the URL, the problem can be resolved

by using localhost.

HP recommends using the following URL to resolve this issue:

https://localhost:2381

After updating my Windows XP system with Service Pack 2, I am unable to access

the HP Version Control Repository Manager. What happened?

Solution: The Windows XP Service Pack 2 implements a software firewall that prevents browsers
