Select the Home tab. The Home page appears.

Click Change Settings. The Select the Version Control Repository Manager page appears.

1. In the Computer Name field, enter the name or IP address of a system with a VCRM installed. Specifying the name of a computer with a VCRM installed allows a more detailed software inventory to be generated and provides a way to update HP software on the system.

2. In the Login Account field, enter a login that has the appropriate security level for the SMH on the specified system. The type of account, account name and password depends on whether the SMH or Management HTTP Server is installed at the system specified in the previous step. This account must have Operator or Administrator level at the VCRM system, so it is recommended that you use a browser to verify the login account and password before entering it.

   Note: You must enter the administrator or operator account defined in the SMH and provide the appropriate password for the VCA to download software from the VCRM. If anonymous access is disabled at the VCRM, you must enter at least an account with user privileges and provide the appropriate password for the VCA to provide software status by comparing the inventory with what is available at the VCRM.

   For Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, you might be unable to access the VCRM because Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1implements a software firewall that prevents browsers or other clients from accessing the ports required for access to the VCRM. To resolve this issue, you must configure the firewall with exceptions to allow access through the ports used by HP SIM, VCA and other VCRMs.

   To configure the firewall exceptions:

   1. Select StartSettingsControl Panel.

   2. Double-click Windows Firewall to configure the firewall settings.

   3. Select Exceptions.

   4. Click [Add Port].

      You must enter the product name and the port number.

      Add the following exceptions to the firewall protection:

      Product	Port Number
      HP SMH Insecure Port:	2301
      HP SMH Secure Port:	2381

      Note: For more information regarding HP SIM secure and insecure ports, refer to the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html in the Troubleshooting help file under Login Problems section.

   5. Click [OK] to save your settings and close the Add a Port dialog box.

   6. Click [OK] to save your settings and close the Windows Firewall dialog box.

   This configuration leaves the default SP2 security enhancements intact, but will allow traffic over the ports previously indicated. The secure and insecure ports must be added to enable proper communication from your browser and other clients that access the VCRM.

3. In the Password field, enter the appropriate password for the login account that you selected in the Login Account field.

Click [Next] to continue. The Select the Reference Support Pack page appears. Click [Reset] to clear the settings you just specified or [Cancel] to abort the changes.

Note: If the VCRM cannot be accessed, an error message appears, and you are returned to the HP Version Control Agent Change Settings page to reenter the settings.

Click [Reset] to clear the changes and return to the previous settings, [Cancel] to discard the changes and retain the original settings, or [Finish] to save your changes. The updated configuration appears on the Current Settings page.

Click [Close] to return to the Home page.

Note: If you click [Cancel], a Confirm Cancel dialog box appears asking you to confirm your intention to discard the changes and retain the original settings. Click [No] to return to the Current Settings page or [Yes] to discard the changes, retain the original settings, and return to the Home page.
