Open a Command prompt (Run as Administrator may be required to write the file depending on your system).Step 1 – Create Certificate and Private Keyįirst we need to create the necessary certificate files, for this we will use OpenSSL Private Key Creation Note – this work was carried out on a Microsoft Windows platform, SSMC can be deployed on a Linux box and should I receive sufficient requests I will create a guide for deploying to Linux platforms. The simplest solution was to just create my own Keystore file and password then update the files and XML entries. The difficult part was that the XML file entry for the password has been obfuscated so I either had to find a way to reverse this or get round it. Finding the Keystore files was easy as was discovering the XML file which provides the path to the Keystore and it’s password. This wasn’t immediately easy as HP don’t provide a GUI interface to do this through SSMC, it has to be done through manipulating Java Keystore files. Having deployed the latest version I needed to replace the default self-signed SSL certificate with one from my certificate authority (CA). It is the web based version of the classic 3PAR Management Console application. The generated password expires immediately after use you must create a new password.įor information on changing the password, see Edit a user account.HP have released the latest version of the 3PAR StoreServe Management Console or SSMC for short. Log in as administrator using the new password. Note the new password for the administrator account, and then press Enter to log out. For example:Įnter the password that you receive from your authorized support representative.

It will be an easy-to-type, space-separated set of strings. The authorized support representative uses the challenge code to generate a short-lived, one-time password based on the challenge key. They will provide you with a short-lived, one-time password based on the challenge key.įor information on how to contact HP by telephone, see How to contact HP.


Telephone your authorized support representative and read the challenge key to them. To send the command to the console, you must press Ctrl+Alt+Spacebar then press Ctrl+Alt+F1.įor KVM users, to send the command to the console, you must select Send Key→ Ctrl+Alt+F1 menu item from the Virtual Machine Manager. NOTE: For VMware vSphere users, Ctrl+Alt is used for another function.
