HP system management homepage IE11 "this page can't be displayed" on https://localhost:2381/

[geoperkins]

Where to I find the right forum for this question?

I have inherited (through a company acquisition) some older HP hardware (Proliant DL380 G8) running mission-critical business applications on Windows Server 2008 R2, fully patched and up-to-date. I can't open the HP System Management Homepage on this server because I suspect the version (7.1.2) is trying to negotiate an SSL handshake with the Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) browser and can't talk SHA2. Just a guess. How do I confirm this and where can I find support and instructions for downloading a current version of SMH for this hardware?

The specific error from IE11 https://localhost:2381/ is:

This page can’t be displayed

• Make sure the web address https://localhost:2381 is correct.
• Look for the page with your search engine.
• Refresh the page in a few minutes.

Dragon, Thanks for the help, you've answered my question.

Yikes! HP not equal HPE (go somewhere else not us! no wonder Hewlett Packard is losing market share)

You are welcome.

HP,Inc and HPE have split into two separate companies.  

It was necessary to untangle the support for the products.
