d. Click Save to save your changes or click Cancel to discard changes and close the

• Trust by Name (not recommended) Sets HP SMH 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.
This method is less secure than Trust by Certificate.
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.
• The following special characters must not be included in the server name: ~ ' ! @ #
$ % ^ & * ( ) + = \ ": ' < > ? , | .
• Semicolons are used to separate server names.
To trust by name:
a. Select Trust by Name, and then click Next.
b. In the Trusted Server Name field, enter the server name to be trusted.
c. Click Add. The trusted system name appears under the Trusted Servers list.

• Trust All (not recommended) Sets the HP SMH to accept configuration changes from any
system.
This method is less secure than Trust by Certificate.
To trust all servers:
a. Select Trust All.
b. Click Save to save your changes or click Cancel to discard the changes and close the
wizard.
c. Click Next. The IP Binding page appears.
j. IP Binding specifies the IP addresses from which HP SMH accepts requests provide control over the
nets and subnets requests that are processed.
Administrators can configure the HP SMH to bind only to addresses specified in the IP Binding
page. Up to 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 HP SMH always binds to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is enabled and no subnet/mask pairs are
configured, the HP SMH is only available on 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is not enabled, you bind to
all addresses.
To configure IP Binding:
a. Select IP Binding. The IP Binding page appears.
b. Enter the IP address.
c. Enter the netmask.
