Security
Web-based management agents running on Windows and Linux operating systems have no default passwords. On a fresh install, the administrator password, operator password, and user passwords are configured during installation. For more information, see the HP Insight Management Agents User Guide.
Logging In
The Login dialog box allows you to access any of the available web agents.
To access the required agent:
-
Navigate to https://hostname:2381 or https://system_ip_address:2381.
If you navigate to this link for the first, a Security Alert dialog box might appear. Check whether or not to trust the system, and click Yes.
The Login page appears.
NOTE: The Security Alert dialog box is specific to Microsoft Internet Explorer and does not appear in other browsers.
NOTE: If you want to implement your own Public-key infrastructure (PKI) or install your own generated certificates into each managed device, you can install a Certificate Authority Root Certificate into each browser to use for management. If this is implemented, the Security Alert dialog box does not appear. If the alert appears unexpectedly, that means you have browsed to the wrong device. For more information about installing the Certificate Authority Root Certificate, see the Help in your browser.

In the Username and Password field, enter the appropriate username and password.
