Trouble with SSH

[Trushar Desai_1]

HP Insight Manager comes up with the security alert message "The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site" Do you want or proceed? and the options are yes, no or view certificate.

Click on "View Certificate" and then "Install Certificate". Note down the "Issued to" name. Close the browser. From Next time on browse to HPSIM using the following url

https://:50000

Doing this will not popup any security messages.

HP SIM uses a self-signed certificate generated during install with the full DNS name of the server.

Since it is self-signed, it does not match with your trusted authorities list so a warning pops up. You can create a Certificate Signing Request for submission and you can import the resultant certificate from an authority you trust.

Also by default, the self-signed certificate is genrated during installation using the full DNS name of the HP SIM server. If you don't access using the FQDN, this message about the mismath will come up. In other words, if the certificate was generated as servername.hp.com and I use http://servername:280 to access it, I will get the warning.

You can go into HP SIM and generate a new certificate, editng the name down to the simple name before generating.

Now when I try to login to HPSIM it comes up with the error message incorrect login. I have setup Local Administrator account and installed the HPSIM using the same.
