The Administration GUI

The administration GUI for SunScreen is organized as a set of pages. Each page contains one or more controls. For example, most pages include buttons and text fields, which you update using your keyboard and mouse.

Logging in as a user with the administrative access level ALL, READ, or WRITE puts you into a session. You cannot log out of a session if you have made changes, until you have either saved or cancelled any changes to the last saved version.

Do not change the administration address (le0, qe0, hme0, and the like), the administration certificate, the local certificate, or the administration-group certificate. If you change these items, you risk losing your connectivity from the Administration Station to the Screen. Reestablishing your connectivity is difficult and requires that you log into the Screen directly or use an Administration Station that is still working. It also requires exchanging encryption information
