Trust by Name
Sets the System Management Homepage to accept certain
configuration changes only from servers with the HP SIM names designated in the
Trust By Name
field. The Trust By Name option is easy to configure. For example,
you might use the Trust By Name option if you have a secure network with two
separate groups of administrators in two separate divisions. It prevents one group
from installing software to the wrong system. This option verifies only the HP SIM
server name submitted.
NOTE:
HP strongly recommends using the Trust by Certificate option because
the other options are less secure.
The server name option must meet the following criteria:
•
Each server name must be less than 64 characters.
•
The overall length of the server name list is 1,024 characters.
•
Special characters should not be included as part of the server name: ~ '
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + = \ ": ' < > ? , | .
•
Semicolons are used to separate server names.

IP Binding specifies from which IP addresses the

accepts requests and provides control over which nets and subnets requests are processed.
Administrators can configure the System Management Homepage to only bind to
addresses specified in the IP Binding page. A maximum of five subnet IP addresses
and netmasks can be defined.
An IP address on the server is bound if it matches one of the entered IP Binding addresses
after the mask is applied.

The System Management Homepage always binds to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding
is enabled and no subnet/mask pairs are configured, then the System Management
