Netra j 3.0 Administrator's Guide

Accessing the Netra Administration Interface

As part of installation, Netra j creates a Solaris user account called setup that automatically launches HotJava Browser.

When you login to the Netra j server as userid: setup; password: setup, the Hot Java Bowser provided with Netra j starts up. Login to Netra j Administration as userid: setup; password: setup.

If you login to the Netra j server with any other userid or password, start a browser and use the URL http://hostname:81, to access the Netra j Administration. Login to Netra j Administration as userid: setup; password: setup.

You can login to the Netra j Administration from any computer on the network that has access to the Netra j server. Start a browser and use the URL http://hostname.domainname:81. Login to Netra j Administration as userid: setup; password: setup.

Note -

The HotJava Views Administration pages require the HotJava Browser (HJB) provided with the Netra j software. All other Netra j Administration pages can be accessed with any other industry-standard browser. The path to the HJB is /opt/SUNWnhjb/bin/hotjava.

You access the web-based Netra administration interface through a dedicated administration web server using one of the following methods.

To Use a Netra Server from the System Console

  1. At the console prompt, log in as the user setup and type setup for the password.

  2. Type setup for the user name and setup for the password to authenticate the browser connection.

    The Netra Welcome page is displayed.

To Access the Netra Server from an Other Computer on the Network

  1. Start a browser on another computer system.

  2. Open the following URL:

    http://hostname.domainname:81

    Where hostname is the Netra j hostname and the domainname is the name of the domain in which the Netra j server resides. The Netra password screen is displayed.

    If this is the first time you are accessing Netra j, the Initial Configuration page is displayed. Otherwise, the Main Administration page is displayed.

To View or Modify Properties in Netra j

  1. From the Main Administration page, click the link for the category in which a property resides.

    In some cases, you have to follow several links.

    A page is displayed indicating the success or failure of your change. If a change fails, the page is redisplayed with the error indicated. Correct the error and click OK again.

    If you click Reset, the values for the properties on a page revert to what they were when you first loaded the page.
