Connecting To IUAdmin From Your Browser

UAdmin contains two interfaces.

In the default configuration, Network Administrators will use IUAdmin by going to the "Advanced" page:

(Ex: http://your.server.name.or.ip.address:8008/IUAdmin/Advanced)

via SSL (Ex: https://your.server.name.or.ip.address:8009/IUAdmin/Advanced)

End users will use IUAdmin by going to the default page:

(Ex: http://your.server.name.or.ip.address:8008/IUAdmin)

via SSL (Ex: https://your.server.name.or.ip.address:8009/IUAdmin)

For more information, or to change this behavior, go to the "Program Security" page under "IUAdmin Administration" on the "Advanced" page.

Depending on whether or not another web server is running on the system, the HTTPSTK NLM may be listening on the standard HTTP port 80 as well. By default HTTPSTK listens on port 8008 for standard HTTP connections and on port 8009 for SSL encrypted connections. The NetWare Managment Portal which also runs on HTTPSTK provides an interface for configuring which ports HTTPSTK is listening on. You may specify the ports on the HTTPSTK.NLM LOAD command as well. Also, you can force the HTTPSTK to always use SSL connections which will secure the use of IUAdmin on a public network. More information on this can be found in the installation guide included with the IUAdmin distribution.

Before you put IUAdmin into production, consider putting in a redirect or link from a standard user web page at your site so that your users will not have to remember the port number information.

There are no Flash annimations.

Cookies are required to authenticate to IUAdmin.
