Trusted certificates provide the highest level of security. Users with full-configuration-rights can import certificates from other systems into the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) Trusted System Certificates List.

The purpose of the Trusted System Certificates List in HP Systems Insight Manager is to maintain a list of certificates in the HP SIM keystore. Certificates include the HP SIM system certificate and the certificates of managed systems that are trusted by the HP SIM system. These imported certificates are placed in the keystore and are displayed in the Trusted System Certificates List.

The list of certificates is used when Require Trusted Certificates is enabled, however the list is manageable regardless of the Require Trusted Certificates state. It can include the certificate itself or a signing certificate if available. Using a signing certificate simplifies the management of the list, because any certificate signed by the signing certificate is valid and trusted. Refer to Trusted Certificates - Requiring Trusted Certificates for more information.

HP SIM provides the following trusted certificate options:

Import trusted certificate. Select OptionsSecurityCertificatesTrusted Certificates[Import].
Export certificate. Select OptionsSecurityCertificatesTrusted Certificates, and then click [Export].
Delete trusted certificate. Select OptionsSecurityCertificatesTrusted Certificates. Select the certificates to be deleted and click [Delete].
