Deploying multiple Trusted Certificates via SIM 5

Rosco_1 — Thu, 25 May 2006 04:40:22 GMT

I've been forced to re-install HP SIM 5 and now obviously the trusted certificate my 300+ servers have installed is no longer applicable.

In the past, I have copied out the new pem cert file via a script to the target server's local "C:\hp\hpsmh\certs" folder and restarted the client server's management homepage service but can anyone advise how to do this via the SIM console?

If you try to deploy anything with the VCRM, you get the expected "Error retrieving repository. Be sure a trust relationship is established with the repository device"

So I can't deploy a PSP without it being trusted and that's the problem.

Any ideas?

many thanks,

Configure or Repair Agents has this capability.

Hi Rosco, I believe you can do this via the Configure and Repair Agents item under the Configure drop down in SIM. You may want to test it on a couple prior to doing the whole lot but you should be able to deploy a new cert via that method.(You may actually see both Certs there but the old one will be updated as well - seems like a tiny bug.) Just uncheck all the other stuff you don't want it to do.
