The HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) is a Web-based interface that consolidates
and simplifies single system management for HP servers on HP-UX, Linux,
and Microsoft Windows operating systems. By aggregating the data from
HP Web-based agents and management utilities, HP SMH provides a common,
easy-to-use interface for displaying hardware fault and status monitoring,
performance data, system thresholds, diagnostics, and software version
control for an individual server. HP SMH is an integrated piece of
software used by the suite of HP Web-enabled System Management Software to communicate over HTTP and
HTTPS. It provides a uniform set of functionality and security to HP Web-enabled System Management Software.
- HP Systems Insight Manager
(HP SIM)
System management software that is capable
of managing a wide variety of systems, including HP systems, clusters,

of HP Insight Manager 7, HP Toptools, and HP Servicecontrol Manager
to deliver a single tool for managing HP ProLiant, HP Integrity, and
HP 9000 systems running HP-UX, Linux, and Windows. The core HP SIM
software delivers the essential capabilities required to manage all
HP server platforms. HP SIM can also be extended to deliver unparalleled
breadth of system management with plugins for HP storage, power, client,
and printer products. Plugins for rapid deployment, performance management,
and workload management enable systems administrators to pick the
value added software required to deliver complete lifecycle management
of their hardware assets. To obtain more information about HP SIM,

- Kerberos
A trusted third-party authentication protocol
developed at MIT which allows different hosts and users to authenticate
and confirm the identity of each other.
- Kerberos Authentication Server
A service whose sole purpose is
to authenticate user account records. The AS serves as an introducer
for the user and the service through the use of a shared secret key
registered with the AS.
- Kerberos Key Distribution Center
Kerberos Key Distribution Center, composed of the Authentication
Server and the Ticket Granting Server.
- Kerberos Ticket Granting Server
Adds an extra layer
of indirection so that the user only needs to enter in a password
once; the ticket and session key obtained from that password is used
for all further tickets. Before accessing any regular service, the
user requests a ticket from the Authentication Server (AS) to talk
to the TGS. This ticket is called the ticket granting ticket or TGT; it is also sometimes called the initial ticket. The session key for the TGT is encrypted using the user's long-term
key, so the password is needed to decrypt it from the AS's reponse
to the user.
- Kernel Configuration tool
