Open a Web browser at a workstation or another server.

Point the browser to the URL of the server you want to manage by entering the following in the address (URL) field:

http://server’s_TCP/IP_address:8008 or other_configured_port_number

For example:

http://192.168.123.11:8008

The default alternate port number is 8008. If you have changed this value on the Configuration page, make sure you specify the same value for the port number here.

If you have Domain Name Services (DNS) installed on your network for server name-to-IP address resolution, you can also enter the server's DNS name instead of the IP address.

If you want to access Novell Remote Manager from the outside of a firewall and the server's private address is unreachable except through Network Address Translation (NAT) or by proxy, do the following:

Accept the SSL certificate.

When the login dialog box appears, provide the required information.

To have access to all pages necessary to manage your server remotely, log in as a user with the Supervisor right to the Server object, usually user Admin or a user with rights equivalent to user Admin.

If the Set Bindery Context = line has been removed from the autoexec.ncf file or the default eDirectory context has not been changed, enter the full context of the user you are logging in as.

By default, if you log in as a user without the Supervisor right to the Server object, you can see only pages that display the volumes, directories, and files that you have access to. You can view files (where you have read access) and upload files to directories where you have write access.
