Authentication Management
Since the HP Management Server can discover and manage all HP Device Manager gateways and
agents on the network, a security problem may occur due to the improper usage of the Management
Server. To overcome this, HP Device Manager provides an authentication capability for the gateways
and the agents to recognize a secure Management Server.
There are two tools for providing authentication:
Key Management
and
Gateway Access Control
.
These are accessed by selecting
Tools
>
Authentication Management
in the Console’s menu bar.
Key Management
An Authentication Key is a plain text password which is input on the Management Console. The key will
be passed to the devices during the key update process. The devices will check the key passed by
Management Server when executing tasks.
To update the current Authentication Key:
1.
Select
Tools
>
Authentication Management
>
Key Management
in the Console’s menu bar to
display the
Authentication
dialog box.
2.
Enter your user
Password
then click
OK
. The
Key Management
window will appear.
