When browsing to an Management Infrastructure interface, if there is no trusted certificate authority
in the Management Infrastructure environment to attest to the certificate, then connection to Management
Group member machines is blocked.
This condition can be resolved by installing the Management Group self-signed certificate in the
browser as a trusted certificate authority. See “Management Group security certificate installation
overview” on page 54.
• When an installed Management Group certificate is valid, the next time the browser connects to
the Management Group member machine, the connections will be automatically authenticated.
• When an installed Management Group certificate is not valid, then a message will appear for the
user to make a decision. If the user does not additionally accept the invalid certificate, then the
connection will fail.
For a security certificate to be considered valid by a browser, the following conditions must be met:
• The certificate can be authenticated by a trusted certificate authority.
• The dates on the certificate must be valid.
• The common name, or entry in subject alternative name section on the certificate, must match the
address the browser client is using to connect to the Management Infrastructure service.
Service (Management Infrastructure specific)
The term Management Infrastructure service refers to the Management Infrastructure process which
runs in the background on an Management Infrastructure server. The Management Infrastructure
service must be restarted to apply changes to an Management Infrastructure configuration.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid the possibility of interrupting storage related operations, HP recommends that you carefully
plan and coordinate restarting the Management Infrastructure service.
Management Groups
A Management Group is a set of Management Group machines.
Management Groups allow you to:
• Log in to any member of a Management Group, or to Management Infrastructure capable applic-
ation, using a single credential (single sign-on).
• Specify the machines and OS security domains to be used as authenticators for access.
• Add or remove a machine from membership in a Management Group.
In the following illustration, assume that five machines with Management Infrastructure software are
on a common LAN.
