Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Encrypt values in the Service Manager configuration file
Applies to User Roles:
System Administrator
You can use the sm -encrypt command to encrypt parameter values in the sm.ini file. You must have administrative access to the server operating system to use this procedure.
Note The values of some security parameters are encrypted automatically during the server startup, including the sqllogin parameter that is used as the example in the following task. For a list of the parameters that are encrypted automatically, see Encryption of configuration file settings.
To encrypt values in the Service Manager configuration file, follow these steps:
- Open the HPE Service Manager configuration file (sm.ini).
-
Copy the parameter name and parameter value you want to encrypt.
For example, copysqllogin:RDBMS user/my password
. - Open the operating system's command prompt.
For example, on Windows click Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. - Change directories to the RUN folder of your Service Manager installation.
For example:cd C:\Program Files\HP\ Service Manager\Server\RUN
- Type the following command:
sm -encrypt:<parameter name>:<parameter value>
If the string containing the <parameter name>:<parameter value> includes spaces, you must enclose the entire parameter name and value in quotation marks. For example:sm -encrypt:"sqllogin:RDBMS user/my password"
Tip The sqllogin credentials are automatically encrypted and added to the sm.ini file if you configure the credentials by running the Server Configuration Utility instead of running this command.
- Press Enter.
Service Manager displays the new encrypted value.
For example:sqllogin:"RDBMS user/my password" is encrypted: 99E6136711576164187C6619C6DBA9DFFC89F7EDF186BC5827E3615BE8419CD4
- Copy the new encrypted value.
- Return to the Service Manager configuration file and add an asterisk to the beginning of the parameter name.
For example:*sqllogin:
- Replace the clear-text value with the encrypted value.
For example:*sqllogin:99E6136711576164187C6619C6DBA9DFFC89F7EDF186BC5827E3615BE8419CD4
- Save the configuration file.
