Re: HMC Web Interface
I may be completely off base here, but check the internet options that are set in windows7 for IE (Tools - Internet Options; or from the control panel). That it starts Java and then hangs sounds suspiciously like *some* option is (for security reasons) now turned off with Windows7 by default and you have turn it on again to make the HMC interface usable. You will need admin rights to even *see* those options, though. These days a lot of websites (including IBMs) are NOT security-conscious and *expect* options to be turned on that I have turned off because it allows activeX controls to run unchecked. And I experience the same mysterious 'hang' then (or garbled output). I have learned to avoid those websites. best regards, Barbara -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: HMC Web Interface
To fix the cert error, you need to go into certificate management(or whatever it is called on the HMC). There is a field in the cert, where you can update. If the DNS name you specify on your browser does not match what is in the cert, you get the warning.
