The Remote Console Applet lets you customize a variety of configuration settings for your Instant ASP installation.

Starting the Remote Console Applet

  1. Follow the directions in the table according to the platform which you are using.

    Choose the Start Admin shortcut from the Instant ASP program group. Run the start-admin.sh shell script located in your Instant ASP installation directory. Run this command at a NetWare console:

    java -classpath

    sys:\java\lib\classes.zip;
    sys:\java\lib\jsdk.jar;
    <iasp_home>\lib\iasplib.jar;
    <iasp_home>\lib\asp2j.jar

    Click here for details.

  2. Enter the following URL in your browser:

    http://<hostname>:9095/

    NOTE: Substitute the name of the computer running the web server for <hostname>. You can change the port number at any time but the first time you log in.

  3. Enter a username and password at the appropriate Remote Console Applet prompts and click OK.

    NOTE: Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

    If you are logging in for the first time, use "admin" for both the username and password. A warning message prompts you to change the password as the following figure shows.



    If authorization completes successfully, the Remote Console Applet opens in a browser window as the following figure shows.

Using the Remote Console Applet User Interface

The Remote Console Applet contains six buttons across its top which enable you to access five general categories of settings as well as online help. The available settings are:

When you click a particular button, the left-hand pane of the Remote Console Applet displays a tree containing various expandable branches. Click the + symbol adjacent to a branch name to view specific subcategories (nodes) that are available within that branch. To collapse a branch in order to hide its nodes, click the - symbol adjacent to the branch name.

When you select a node within a branch, the right-hand pane of the Remote Console Applet displays the controls for that node.

EXAMPLE:

The following screen shot of the Remote Console Applet shows the Admin Preferences tree in the left-hand pane.

  • The Proxy Service Settings is expanded to show the available nodes.
  • The Console Applet Settings, Licence Management, and Log Managment branches are collapsed..
  • The Load Balancing branch does not have any nodes. Thus, when you click Load Balancing, the the right-hand pane of the Remote Console Applet displays the controls for load balancing.
