[Info-vax] HP alerts full of broken links

[Craig A. Berry]

If anyone subscribes to the alerts formerly known as the patch digests,
don't bother clicking on the links in the one that came out this
morning. They all point to the printer/PC support site, which as far as
I can tell has none of the relevant content. Just go straight to the
patch management page on the HPE support site, last seen at:

<https://h20566.www2.hpe.com/portal/site/hpsc/patch/home/>

and search for the patches you want. There is a SYS update for VMS 8.3
and later, and Enterprise Directory has a fix for the POODLE TLS
vulnerability (yeah, the one disclosed almost a year ago).

If you do click on one of the links in the alert e-mail, you'll get a
pop-up informing you that you are on the PC/Printer site and giving you
the option of going to the HP Enterprise site. I checked the box saying
"don't ask again" and went to the enterprise site; now it always takes
me directly to the PC/Printer site, i.e., the cookie is there to deny me
a preference rather than remember my preference as any decent web
designer would make it do.  Argh.
