- HP System Management Homepage
The HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) is a Web-based
interface that consolidates and simplifies single system management
for HP servers on HP-UX, Linux, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
By aggregating the data from HP Web-based agents and management utilities, HP SMH provides
a common, easy-to-use interface for displaying hardware fault and
status monitoring, performance data, system thresholds, diagnostics,
and software version control for an individual server. HP SMH is
an integrated piece of software used by the suite of HP Web-enabled System Management Software to
communicate over HTTP and HTTPS. It provides a uniform set of functionality
and security to HP Web-enabled System Management Software.
- HP Systems Insight Manager
System management software that is capable of
managing a wide variety of systems, including HP systems, clusters,
desktops, workstations, and portables. HP SIM combines the strengths
of HP Insight Manager 7, HP Toptools, and HP Servicecontrol Manager
to deliver a single tool for managing HP ProLiant, HP Integrity, and
HP 9000 systems running HP-UX, Linux, and Windows. The core HP SIM software
delivers the essential capabilities required to manage all HP server
platforms. HP SIM can also be extended to deliver unparalleled
breadth of system management with plugins for HP storage, power, client,
and printer products. Plugins for rapid deployment, performance management,
and workload management enable systems administrators to pick the
value added software required to deliver complete lifecycle management
of their hardware assets. For more information about HP SIM,

The Other Agents area on the Tools page lists
the visible HP Web-enabled System Management Software that does not participate
in HP SMH. The name of the HP Web-enabled System Management Software provides a
link so that you can still access the agents if they provide a user
interface. If no HP Web-enabled System Management Software is installed that provides
this information, then none is displayed.

developed at MIT which allows different hosts and users to authenticate
and confirm the identity of each other.
- Kerberos Authentication Server
A service whose sole purpose is to authenticate
user account records. The AS serves as an introducer for the user
and the service through the use of a shared secret key registered
with the AS.
- Kerberos Key Distribution Center
Kerberos Key Distribution Center, composed of
the Authentication Server and the Ticket Granting Server.
- Kerberos Ticket Granting Server
Adds an extra layer of indirection so that the
user only needs to enter in a password once; the ticket and session
key obtained from that password is used for all further tickets. Before
accessing any regular service, the user requests a ticket from the
Authentication Server (AS) to talk to the TGS. This ticket is called
the ticket granting ticket or TGT; it is also
sometimes called the initial ticket. The session
key for the TGT is encrypted using the user's long-term key,
so the password is needed to decrypt it from the AS's reponse
to the user.

parameters. Select nPartitions, cells, I/O chassis, or other components
from the graphical display, then select an action from a menu. You
can use Partition Manager to perform the following tasks: create,
modify, and delete nPartitions; examine the nPartition configuration
of a complex, check the complex for potential configuration and hardware
problems, and manage hardware resources on the complex.

displays the I/O devices and can be used to (re)create device files
for a selected device. The Peripheral Device tool can be launched
the HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) tool or from HP SMH.

HP-UX system administration tasks. The legacy SAM functionality
is still available.
- search criteria
A set of variables (information) used to define
a requested subset of information from the set of all information.
The information set that can be filtered includes action information,
some of the system's information, and so on. A filter is composed
of an permitted filter followed by a restricted filter. The result
of these two filtering operations is called a group. An example of
a filter is a SQL statement that creates viewable information or causes
management operations to be performed.
- Secure HTTP
An extension to the HTTP protocol that supports
sending data securely over the Web.
- Secure Shell
A program that enables you to sign in to another
system over a network and execute commands on that system. It also
enables you to move files from one system to another, and it provides
authentication and secure communications over insecure channels.
- Secure Sockets
Layer
A standard protocol layer that lies between HTTP
and TCP and provides privacy and message integrity between a client
and server. A common use of SSL is to provide authentication of the
server, so the client can be assured it is communicating with the
system that the system claims to be. It is application protocol independent.

This feature of HP SMH ensures that the user requesting the
task has the appropriate rights to perform the task and encrypts the
request to protect data from snooping.
