I have an HMC running 2.10.2 version on a Unix box. It works just fine
from its attached console, but refuses access from our local LAN.
Basically attempts to connect to it just wait and time out.
- HMC on a "10" network
- I can Ping it fine, and the DNS name, and the DNS name resolves properly
- Cannot telnet, or make other type of connection
- I confirmed with my network folk that the ports in the 2.10.2 HMC manual
Appendix c were open, and he stated that not only were they open, but there
is no firewall inside this local net.
- I confirmed that
Hardware Management Console Settings
Customize Console Services
Remote Operation is ENABLED
- I confirmed that my UID had Remote Web access enabled, even tho I am not
even getting to the login screen.
So everything I have been able to research appears in order, but I am
still unable to connect. Any suggestions where to look here?

Could you provide any specific messages you are getting when you are refused connection?

Greetings, Lizette, Messages are not too helpful, I fear. I did not setup
or configure the Unix box, so I cannot add much about how it was setup by
my predecessor.
This page can’t be displayed
- Make sure the web address http://10.16.xx.xx is correct.
- Look for the page with your search engine.
- Refresh the page in a few minutes.

Thanks, Jerry.
I confirmed valid gateway / default route is good. I also checked in
Network Diag and confirmed that I could successfully Ping my PC from the
HMC, so I think those parts appear to be working correctly.
Customize Console Services>Remote Operation is enabled
I could not find any place in HMC for SLL Settings (I am on v2.10.1)
On a hunch I enabled SSL2 & SSL3 in my IE browser, and got to the HMC
"front page". I installed our cert on my PC, and I think I am past the
initial problem. Now I have to recycle my browser/PC and see if I am
totally connected now. MANY THANKS,

Hi Jerry,
While I'm not the OP, I've also been battling this problem in a very similar environment.
Your suggestion worked a dream! I've been using a favorite in my browser to get there for years. Got rid of that, followed your suggestion, got logged on - and (re)bookmarked it!
Thanks Again!

Finally solved this. It was part of the IE configuration.
If you get the Login page missing the USERID: PASSWORD: boxes...
Check in IE>Internet Options>Advanced
that HTTP 1.1 and all of the SSL & TLS are checked
Check IE > Compatibility View Settings
That the HMC url is not in the list and that Compatibility box is not
checked.

Cool! What was your Internet Exploder (sic) version? Sorry that I ask, but if you mentioned that, I probably missed that in this thread.

What about your other browsers like FireFox and Chrome? Or are you not using them?
Thanks for your post. I believe you will save lots of grey hairs in the future for others.

Using IE 11 and Win 7. I am going to just use IE rather than try to
figure this out on Chrome
I clicked HTTP 1.1 and the PROXY
Yes, all SSL and TLS checked.
If I can "give back" to this list that would be great. I often feel
that I get so much more than I contribute. At least when I do find an
answer I post it. One of my few disappointments on this list is when I
find a thread identical or similar to my problem and those involved give up
or solve it and never post how.

A blondie walks in a sex shop, points to a red thing while asking the shop steward, "I want that red vibrator."
"Sorry, ma'am, but that is a fire extinguisher."
Oh, dear, poor girl, her burning lust was extinguished!
