Accessing NetWare Remote Manager

To access NetWare Remote Manager, complete the following:

1. Open the Web browser at your workstation.

2. 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 (number)

   For example:

   http://137.65.123.11:8008

   NOTE:  The default alternate port number is 8008. If you have changed this value on the Configuration page, make sure you enter the new port number.

   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 NetWare 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:

   • Ensure that DNS is configured on your server.
   • Change the load line for loading the HTTPSTK.NLM to the following in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:

     load httpstk.nlm /hostids:1 /SSL /keyfile:"SSL CertificateIP"

3. Accept the SSL certificate.

   IMPORTANT:   You must have SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 (where available) enabled in your browser. Otherwise, the browser will display an error indicating that the page cannot be displayed.

4. When the login dialog box from your browser appears, enter 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, enter the full context of the user you are logging in as.

   If you log in as a user without the Supervisor right to the Server object, you will 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 into directories where you have write access. You will not be able to see or do any of the management functions with the exception of being able to set a Simple Password for NFAP on the NFPA Simple Password Management page (if this is set up on the server). You can access this page by clicking the User Tools icon in the header frame and then clicking the NFAP Security link in the navigation frame.

After logging in, your session for NetWare Remote Manager remains open until you close all your browser windows at that workstation.

To log out of NetWare Remote Manager, close all your browser windows at the workstation you logged in from.
