A configuration mechanism enables the administrator
to customize the image and the message in the Sign In page. The administrator can use a custom logo
and warning message. As the pages load, HP SMH verifies if the personalized
content is enabled and available. If the content is not available, HP SMH
uses the standard image and warning message. Starting HP System Management Homepage
(HP SMH) from Internet ExplorerTo sign in to HP SMH
with Internet Explorer: Navigate to https://hostname:2381/. The first time you browse to this URI, the Security Alert dialog box
appears, prompting you to indicate whether to trust the server. If
you do not import the certificate, the Security Alert appears every
time you browse to HP SMH. If you are browsing to an HP-UX server, by default you must use http://hostname:2301/. By default, HP-UX is installed with the autostart feature enabled. A daemon listens on port 2301,
and starts HP SMH on port 2381 when requested, then stops it after
a timeout period. You can also configure HP SMH to always run on port
2381. For more information, see the smhstartconfig(1M) command. If the Start on Boot feature is enabled (instead of autostart), a message window appears, which explains the security features.
Wait a few seconds to be redirected to port 2381 or click the link
at the bottom of the message. The System Management Homepage sign in page appears. For more information about procedures

Starting from
the HP-UX Command LineWhen you run the sam or smh command and the DISPLAY environment
variable is set, HP SMH opens in the default Web browser. If the DISPLAY
environment variable is not set, HP SMH opens in the TUI. Most applications
for performing administration tasks are available through the Web-based
GUI interface and an enhanced TUI. However, some applications continue
to open in ObAM based X-windows or ObAM based TUI. HP recommends using the smh(1M) command. However,
the sam(1M) command continues to be available
and behave just as the smh(1M) command. Some
functional areas previously available for system administration are
obsolete. These areas are listed in the HP-UX 11i Release
Notes, available on the HP Technical documentation web
site at http://docs.hp.com.
HP SMH Management ServerBy default, the HP SMH management server for HP-UX
starts only on demand. It does not run continually. A daemon listens
on port 2301 to start an instance of the management server. On Linux,
HP SMH is started on boot.
