your user name and password from an account that is part of a valid
group configured in the SMH users groups configuration article. HP SMH loads both root and intermediate
CA certificates from PATH_TO_CAFILES\cacerts\ and loads CRLs from PATH_TO_CAFILES\cacrls\ to verify the status of the trusted certificate. To modify the PATH_TO_CAFILES, a CLI option -W|| –cafiles is available in HP SMH.
Run the following command to change the PATH_TO_CAFILES: smhconfig -W|| --cafiles[=] DIR where, cafiles
is the complete path to the CA files directory. Two buttons under the
input fields: [Sign In] Validates the values in the user name and password.
