HP Web Agent HTTP Post Error

Hi

I have some Novell Netware Servers running v6.5 SP6, when i go into the systems management homepage for these servers and then try to either clear the Integrated Log or Reset the ASR stuff i get the following error:

HP Web Agent HTTP Post Error
An error occurred attempting a SNMP set request.
Invalid type of post request or parameters missing.

Anyone got any ideas on this ?

Cheers in advance

Has a write community string been established on the agent?

Setting the SNMP Strings in Netware
Follow These Steps :
1. At the Server Console run “inetcfg”
2. Say “NO” if it asks to transfers files to the autoexec.ncf
3. Select “Manage Configuration”
4. Select “Configure SNMP Parameters” and set the "Specified Community may read" and "Specified Community may write"
5. Press “Escape” twice
6. Select “Reinitialise System” for the new SNMP setting to take effect

This should fix the "HP Web Agent HTTP Post Error " error
