Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.8 Installation Guide (14234)

3 Completing the Installation
After the installation procedure finishes, Verify the installation of Internet Express components
(see Section 3.1: Verifying the Installation) to make Internet Express software secure and
operational.
Note:
To ensure a secure system, you can access the Administration utility on port 8081 only from the
local system (that is, the system on which you installed Internet Express). You can, however, use
the Administration utility to allow access to these ports from remote systems. See the
Administration Guide for more information.
3.1 Verifying the Installation
To verify that the Internet Express components correctly installed, you should perform general
tests that are practical for your installation.
If you installed the Administration Utility, log in to the operating system with the user name
and the password you specified during installation. Ensure that the Administration utility is
accessible through the Web browser by accessing the following URL, substituting the fully
qualified name of your system for host.domain.name:
http://host.domain.name:8081/
Access is initially restricted to the local host only.
Access the Administration utility using the user name admin and the password you specified
during installation. This connection allows access to the Administration utility through the
browser-based interface.
From the local system, perform such tasks as these to test the Administration utility:
• Create a captive user account
• Create one or more generic captive accounts
• Create a Tru64 UNIX user account
For more information on the tasks included in these tests, see the Administration Guide (which
is available through a link on the Administration utility main menu).
Continue to verify other components you selected for your installation. For example:
• If you chose to install the InterNetNews Server, create a newsgroup in the form local.group
then post an article to that newsgroup. (The Administration utility helps you do this; see
the Administration Guide for detailed steps.
• Test the Squid Proxy/Caching Server by setting up proxies on any desktop client system to
point to Internet Express on port 8080.
3.2 Connecting to the Secure Web Server
This section describes how to connect to Secure Web Server ports for public access and server
administration.
The default, or public, Web access port is 80, although you might have chosen a different port
when prompted during the installation. From the local system, connect to the following URL,
substituting the fully qualified name of your system for host.domain.name:
http://host.domain.name:80/
Port 8081 is also used by the Secure Web Server administration utility.
Connect to the following URL to manage the Secure Web Server by substituting the fully qualified
name of your system for host.domain.name:
