Configuring Internet Services

Starting the Internet Manager


NOTE: You must be running an X session to configure Internet Services.

To start the Internet Manager on the local system:

  1. As root, do one of the following:

  2. In the ``User ID'' field, enter admin. In the ``Password'' field, enter the Internet Manager password.

    This is set to the first eight characters of the root password by default. To change the Internet admin password, click on the Security button on the Internet Services page, then choose Set Internet Manager Password (or log in as root and enter /etc/internetpw).


    NOTE: If you defer setting the root password during the initial installation procedure, the admin user's password is set to <Enter>.

  3. Follow the instructions on each screen, and complete the information fields.

To start the Internet Manager from a remote system:


  1. With a Web browser, open this URL:

    http://system-name:615/mana/mana/menu.mana

    For system-name, substitute the fully-qualified name of the system that you want to configure.


    NOTE: Only systems that have been specifically permitted remote access can use the Internet Manager remotely.

    To permit remote access by a system, select SYSTEM-WIDE on the Internet Services page of the SCO Internet Manager, click on the Security button, then click on the Control Access From Remote Sites button. (Or add the remote system's IP address to the /usr/internet/admin/access/site file on the local system.)


  2. In the ``User ID'' field, enter admin. In the ``Password'' field, enter the Internet Manager password.

  3. Follow the instructions on each screen, and complete the information fields.


NOTE: The Internet Manager can configure your system in ways that greatly affect its security. Because of this, access to the Internet Manager should be treated the same as access to the root account. Do not give the Internet Manager password to any user to whom you would not also give the root password, and do not enable remote access to the Internet Manager from any machine that untrusted users can log into.
