Hello,
Did you try to export the 2048 certificate and try to import the text with paste in the HP System Management Homepage under Settings > Security > Trusted Management Servers, click on details of the current installed certificate and look for "
Public-Key: (1024 bit)" or 2048 bit. Is the certificate 1024 or 2048 bits ? Now first delete any existing Certificates. Now paste the 2048 certificate in the Add Certificate Data and click on the import button. Does the trust work from SIM ?
When you signed in with Windows credentials wait for some time for the sign-in to expire until you click on the System Management Homepage link in SIM. If this work and your original certificate was 1024 the problem is that when the System Management Homepage collects it's certificate from the SIm server it collects a 1024 bits certificate.
If this works you can do a replicate of the certificate to your other servers.
Kind regards,
Andrew
