Accessing Administration Servers

Internet Express provides the following administration servers for managing Internet services:

•Administration Utility —A set of CGI programs that use a configured instance of the Secure Web Server listening on port 8081 (and port 8089, for backward compatibility with previous releases).

•Internet Monitor administration — The Internet Express installation script installs the Internet Monitor Administration Server on port 8086.

The administration servers installed are password protected. When you attempt to access one of these servers, you must provide the user name (admin by default) and password (which is set during installation). To change the password for the Internet Express Administration utility, see Chapter 7.

Note:

The Secure Web Server is initially configured to allow access to the Internet Express Administration utility from the local system only. To allow access from remote systems, see the Secure Web Server Administration Guide.

Table 2 summarizes the ports on which the administration accounts are installed by default, and shows the URLs for accessing these accounts. In the URLs shown in Table 2, host.domain.name represents the fully qualified host name of the local system (the system on which Internet Express is installed).
