About the Support Tools Dashboard

The Support Tools

Dashboard is a

browser-based

desktop that allows

you to access and use

all Support Tools

utilities through a

single interface. The

Dashboard integrates

access to all ICM

systems, eliminating

the need to manually

connect to each

remote system.

Accessing the

Dashboard

Users access the Dashboard via a URL

(http://<hostname_or_ip_address>:<Tomcat_HTTP_port>) entered in a browser

window. Upon connecting, users must login by providing their Windows NT user

name and password, or the user name and password of a privileged account.

Access to the Dashboard is restricted to the local network: access via the Internet is

not supported. To access the Dashboard from a remote location, a user must connect

and authenticate against the corporate network.

Dashboard Privileges

The Support Tools Dashboard recognizes two categories of users:

• Privileged users have full access to all Support Tools functionality, including tools

and commands that can be used to modify system settings, registries, etc.

• Regular users have limited access to information gathering functionality only.

Tools capable of system modification are not available to regular Support Tools

users.

Support Tools assigns privilege based on regular Windows user groups (defined on

your domain controller or through Active Directory). During the Support Tools Server

installation, you are prompted to enter the name of one (and only one) Windows
