Trust Mode
The Trust Mode options enable you to select the security required by your system. There are some
situations that require a higher level of security than others. Therefore, you are given the following
security options:
●
Trust by Certificate. Sets the System Management Homepage to accept configuration
changes only from HP Systems Insight Manager servers with trusted certificates. This mode
requires the submitted server to provide authentication by means of certificates. This mode is
the strongest method of security since it requires certificate data and verifies the digital signature
before allowing access. If you do not want to enable any remote configuration changes, leave
Trust by Certificate selected, and leave the list of trusted systems empty by avoiding importing
any certificates.
Note:
HP strongly recommends using this option as it is more secure.
●
Trust by Name. Sets the System Management Homepage to accept certain configuration
changes only from servers with the HP Systems Insight Manager names designated in the Trust
By Name field. The Trust By Name option is easy to configure. For example, you might use
the trust by name option if you have a secure network with two separate groups of administrators
in two separate divisions. It prevents one group from installing software to the wrong system.
This option verifies only the HP Systems Insight Manager server name submitted.
Note:
HP strongly recommends using the Trust by Certificate option as the other
options are less secure.
●
Trust All. Sets the System Management Homepage to accept certain configuration changes
from any system.
