HP SMH allows the setting of multihomed or multiple names to certificates that are not generated by HP. Through this functionality, SMHs certificate can contain additional information for the machine, such as other names in the network and IPs that are available. In the same way, it is possible to create a request certified to be signed by a Certificate Authority (CA).

Two kinds of values are acceptable as alternative names:

  • DNS name (for example: Linux;Linux.localdomain)

  • IP Address (for example: 10.16.165.1;192.168.1.189)

Only users in the Administrator User Group and System Administrators (root on Linux and Administrator on Windows) can edit the Alternative Names fields through the browser.

The multihomed configuration is available by completing the following steps:

Changes made here to Alternative Names affect only the current certificate.

  1. Select Settings from the menu

  2. In the System Management Homepage box, click the Security link.

  3. Click the Local Server Certificate link.

  4. In the Current Certificate box, enter a value in the Alternative Names field.

  5. Click [Create].

  6. Click [Yes] and the previous page appears with the message: Success: Value successfully changed.

When this happens, the new certificate with the alternative names set are negotiated with the browser.
