Hello All,

I having problem logging into my "System Management Homepage" via :
/usr/sbin/smh &

The gui starts up via Mozilla Firfox, but when I login as root my access is denied (sign-in failure). I have the correct root passowrd. Don't know what's wrong?

1) Started by looking at the smh.log file located in /var/opt/hpsmh/logs. exactly what it said.

2) Also looked in the access_log and error_log but neither one had helpful information.

It seems that some files that should belong to the hpsmh user or group are actually belonging to user or group bin. This includes the commands used during the SMH authentication, which is preventing their execution by the main SMH process, which runs with the privileges of the hpsmh user.

After verifying the following files were set correctly, the user was able to login.


chown root:hpsmh /opt/hpsmh/lbin/catalina.sh
chown root:hpsmh /opt/hpsmh/lbin/start_tomcat
chown root:hpsmh /opt/hpsmh/lbin/status_tomcat
