pages without going through the login page (if you are currently logged in and
have the appropriate privileges).

The security settings for your browser might prevent the execution of client-side
scripts that are used by Server Administrator. To enable the use of client-side
scripting, perform the following steps on the remote management system.

scripting, you might receive a blank screen when logging in to Server Administrator.
In this case, an error message will appear instructing you to configure your
