Using the Web Manager

Using the Web Manager
Logging Into the Web Manager
Two types of administrative users can access all the Web Manager functions:
Administrative users, like regular users, can access the Web Manager from a browser using HTTP or HTTPS either over the Internet or through a dial-in or callback PPP connection. Also like regular users, administrative users can use default menu options that appear on the first Web Manager screen after login to access devices, manage power and change their own passwords.
In addition to being able to perform all the tasks regular authorized users can perform, administrative users can use the Web Manager for configuring users, devices and other OnBoard appliance features that enable the enforcement of the organization’s security policies. Only one administrative user can connect to the Web Manager at a time. A message appears if an another administrative user is currently logged in and provides the option either to cancel the login attempt or to log out the currently-logged-in administrative user.
NOTE: For security, a login session terminates after a defined period of inactivity. An OnBoard appliance administrator can change the time-out value as described in Changing Web Manager Time-outs.
To log into the Web Manager as an administrative user:
This procedure assumes you know the password for the admin account or the username and password for an administrative user account and that you have either a network connection or a dial-in connection over a phone line.
