Some operating systems, including Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 SBS, implement a firewall that prevents browsers from accessing the ports required for the Version Control Repository Manager access. To resolve this issue, you must configure the firewall with exceptions to allow browsers to access the ports used by HP Systems Insight Manager and Version Control Repository Manager.


Note:


	For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, this configuration leaves the default SP2 security enhancements intact, but allows traffic over the ports. These ports are required for the Version Control Repository Manager to run. The secure and insecure ports must be added to enable proper communication with your browser.

To configure the firewall:

Select StartSettings Control Panel.
Double-click Windows Firewall to configure the firewall settings.
Select Exceptions.
Click [Add Port].
You must enter the product name and the port number.
Add the following exceptions to the firewall protection:
Product Port Number
HP SMH Insecure Port: 2301
HP SMH Secure Port: 2381
Click [OK] to save your settings and close the Add a Port dialog box.
Click [OK] to save your settings and close the Windows Firewall dialog box.
