Browser-Based Admin

If don't have access to the WebSTAR Admin application, you can view your administration tasks from a browser. Note that the Browser Admin is not as secure as the Admin application: communications with the server are not encrypted. If you do use this method, be sure to change your password frequently.

To use the Browser Admin pages, be sure that you have added an Allow entry or password for the ADMINISTRATION realm using the WebSTAR Admin application before trying the Browser Admin pages.

see Setting the Browser Admin Password .

To access the administration pages, use the following procedure:

1 Launch the web browser of your choice.
2 Connect to the administration URL, which is your server's name followed by "pi_admin.admin", for example:

 
http://www.domain.com
/pi_admin.admin

If you bookmark this URL, you won't have to type it in every time.

3 If you have not explicitly allowed your machine's host name, you'll see a User Name and Password dialog. Enter the name and password you have designated for the Administration realm.
4 You'll see the WebSTAR Remote Server Administration page. Use the buttons and links to navigate to the task you wish to accomplish.
