Invoking Web Access

After installing and configuring Web Access on a SIMS 3. 5 server, obtain the Web Access URL. Typically, the Web Access URL is as follows:

http://<hostname>:8080/WebAccess

where hostname is the name of the SIMS 3.5 server providing Web Access service. The default port number of the Web Access server is 8080, and may be changed by the site administrator using the Java Web Server Administration Console.

From any SIMS 3.5 networked desktop:

  1. Open an Internet browser
  2. Enter the Web Access URL and press Return.
  This invokes Web Access. There is no user guide for Web Access -- see the on-line help that comes with Web Access.
  3. Login to Web Access.
  A dialog prompts you for permission to set a cookie.
  4. Click OK.
