HiCommand Device Manager over a secure socket layer (SSL) connection by doing one of the following:
•Use HTTPS in the discovery address - Prepend https:// to the discovery address to force the connection to HTTPS mode, for example, https://192.168.1.1, where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the host running HiCommand Device Manager. Use this option if you have one HiCommand Device Manager you want to communicate through a secure connection (SSL) and another you want to communicate through a nonsecure connection.
•Modify an internal property - Change the value of the cimom.provider.hds.useSecureConnection to true, as described in the steps in this section. Use this option if you want all connections to HiCommand Device Manager to be secure (SSL).
To set all connections with HiCommand Device Manager to SSL:
1.Click Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in the Disk Space tree.

7.Change the value assigned to the cimom.provider.hds.useSecureConnection property to true, as shown in the following example:
cimom.provider.hds.useSecureConnection=true
8.When you are done, click Save.
If you want to connect to another instance of HiCommand Device Manager by using a nonsecure connection, prepend http:// to the discovery address to force the connection to nonsecure mode, for example, http://192.168.1.1, where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the host running HiCommand Device Manager.
9.Restart the service for the management server for your changes to take effect.
While AppStorManager is restarting, users are not able to access the management server. The AppStorManager service must be running for the management server to monitor elements.
Important: While the AppStorManager service is stopped, the following occurs:
•Users are not be able to access the management server.
