Specifying an Alternate Default Home Page

If you know which of the products that you have installed will be used the most, you can select that product's Welcome page (or utility) as the default home page for the Welcome Web site. When users access the Welcome Web site on port 80 (unsecure), they won't have to navigate to that page.

For example, if you installed the QuickFinder Server, you could select it as the default home page. When users access the Welcome Web site, the QuickFinder Search form appears allowing them to perform searches on your Web and file server content.

NOTE:  If you are using Netscape* version 7.02 and you specify an alternate home page, you must clear your browser's before the new home page can be viewed. This might also be true of some versions of Internet Explorer.

To specify an alternate default home page:

  1. Using a Web browser, access the administrator's (secure) Welcome Web site.

  2. Under Default Page, select the Novell product or service that you want to set as the new default Welcome Web site home page (unsecure port 80).

    Not all products can be specified as the default home page. Of those products that can, only those that have been installed appear in this list. If you do not see a product listed that you would like to set as the default home page, verify that it is installed by going to its Welcome page. If it is not installed, install it and then return to the Welcome Web site.

  3. Click Set Page.

  4. Click the link that appears to open the new default home page in a new browser window.
