Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.10 Administration Guide (5900-1418, March 2011)

1 Using the Administration Utility
The Administration utility for Internet Express helps you manage Internet services and the AlphaServer
system through a Web browser. Because you use a browser to perform these tasks, you are not
expected to be familiar with Tru64 UNIX.
The Administration utility is a set of CGI programs that use a configured instance of the Secure
Web Server (powered by Apache) on port 8081. You access the Administration utility by entering
the following URL in a Web browser running on a local system:
http://host.domain.name:8081/
The Administration utility server is password-protected. You must provide a user name (admin by
default) and a password (which is set during installation).
Using the Administration utility, you can perform the following types of tasks:
• Manage user accounts — You can create various types of user accounts to provide access to
Internet services. By default, an administrator can manage user accounts only from the local
system (that is, the system on which Internet Express software is installed). However, you can
use Web Server Administration functions to allow access from remote systems. See Chapter 3
for more information.
• Administer Internet services — You configure Internet services (such as anonymous FTP, the
Squid proxy/caching server, and InterNetNews) to operate within your environment, view
log files to determine how users are making use of the Internet services you provide, and link
to the sysman utility to shut down and reboot the system, manage local printers, and perform
other system management
• Access online documentation — The Documentation Bookshelf allows you to:
Access the complete set of Internet Express documentation in HTML, and PDF formats.
The documentation includes links to third-party Web sites for the Internet components that
◦
ship with the product, as well as links to HP Web sites offering information of interest to
AlphaServer administrators.
◦ Search the reference pages included with the Internet Express software. This document
also provides links to these reference pages.
◦ Search the Tru64 UNIX Web site. Of particular interest to AlphaServer administrators is
the Technical Information page (http://h30097.www3.hp.com/technical.html).
• Display the copyrights of the third-party Internet components shipped with Internet Express.
