IntroductionThe System Management Homepage is the One-Stop-Centralized simple view
for all the management information and configuration data generated by
HP Web-enabled System Management Software and utilities. The status of the Management software and utilities installed on the system is aggregated
on the System Management Homepage. Integrated Help on the Homepage provides
all the pertinent help information for the Management software and utilities
on the system. The System Management Homepage group configuration feature enables HP Systems Insight Manager to retrieve a set of configuration data from
HP Web-enabled System Management Software on a reference system and distribute that configuration
data to one or more target systems. In addition, some System Management Homepage parameters are group configurable via HP Systems Insight Manager. For
more information regarding group configuration, refer to the “Technical
Reference Guide” located on the Management CD or via the web at www.hp.com/servers/proliant/manage. What is Management HTTP Server?The Management HTTP Server is a web server embedded in much of HP Web-enabled System Management Software.
OverviewAfter a product that uses the Management HTTP Server has been installed
and configured, there are a few things that occur the first time the Management HTTP Server
is initiated. Upon initialization, the Management HTTP Server
creates a private key and a corresponding self-signed base64 encoded certificate.
This process only occurs the first time that the Management HTTP Server
is started, not every time it is started. This certificate is a base64
encoded PEM file. The certificate is stored on the file system as \compaq\wbem\cert.pem.
The \compaq\wbem subdirectory also contains the private key. In order
to protect the key, this subdirectory is only accessible to administrators
if the file system allows it. For private key security reasons, it is
highly recommended that the Management HTTP Server be installed on NTFS systems. If you feel that the private key has been compromised, the administrator
can delete the \compaq\wbem\cert.pem file and restart the server. This
action prompts the Management HTTP Server to generate a new certificate and private key.
