Web Console Features and Functions

The Sun Management Center web console is a web-based management interface for the Sun Management Center platform. This host management system uses the secure HTTPS protocol to provide easy access to Sun Management Center management information. You can access the web console across the firewall to monitor and manage Sun Management Center information from any location. You can use widely available browsers, such as MozillaTM1.4 or higher, Netscape NavigatorTM 4.5.1 or higher, and Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher.

The web console is an optional Sun Management Center component. The web console depends on the Sun Management Center server for retrieving and manipulating managed objects. For information about configuring the web server, see Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
