Trust Mode Setting of PSP 7.3 - in what file is it stored?

[Dr.Conti]

Hi everyone,

very nice Forum - helped me a lot for Insight Manager. Though could not find an answer to this one:

In what file is the "Trust Mode" - especially the key "Trust by Name" stored?

Trying to make a CD with all the stuff configured upon the end of installation. Found already location for VAGENT - it was vcagent.options. But can't find this one. Anyone can help please? Thanks a lot!

Hi Dr. Conti,

I recognize your name from somewhere...the Citrix forums?

Anyway...

The HP agents can be preconfigured with all the information you need (I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but should yield the same results).

That way you can provide VC passwords, certificates, and server names you need and then deploy to multiple servers and have the same configuration.

When you run setup.exe from the Support Pack download (the Remote Deployment Utility), it should "make" you preconfigure those settings so maybe you have already done this. I have attached a screen shot I what I am talking about.

WoW I now feel like a superstar,
people recognise me :-) I'm indeed big Server Based Computing community member.

Your solution is very good, though for best results I still would like to know where and what is that file.

P.S: when I configured settings for VC Agent in COMPONENTS in VRepository and applied it to a system which already have had the PSP installed (even I checked the proper checkbox the settings werent applied. Lets see how does it work with new installation.

Hi Dr.Conti,

Assuming you are using the latest agents, namely 7.3, the file you are looking for should be this:

c:\hp\hpsmh\conf\smhpd.xml

Look for the entry:

TrustByName

not really - this is JUST the cache file. It is not the configuration file.

As Nelson as suggested, typically the Agents are configured and then deployed. This way the Trust details etc. are copied across.

I believe the details may be stored as part of the executable itself.

We have a second HPSIM Server at our DR site, I just copy the files in the Repository after they're configured and the configured details are carried across as well.

[Dr.Conti]

yeah I know
But the VCAgent for example use the file vcagent.options where it store the stuff, why Trust stuff would be kept in a different way. That would mean that it if decompilled everytime u change the Trust mode (im talking about CONFIGURED system now, not about preconfigured pakcs)

Here you go

smhpd.xml found in C:\hp\hpsmh\conf

Should work if you are using "trust by name"

I copied the file to an unconfigured server and the settings were all there. Required a restart of the SMH service.

Isn't that what I said? :)
