Accessing Compaq Server Management Agents from a Browser
Viewing Subsystem and Status Information
The Web-enabled Compaq Management Agents for Servers allow you to view subsystem and status information from a Web browser, either locally or remotely.
To view data locally, use the URL: http://127.0.0.1:2301/, or http://localhost:2301/
To view data remotely, use the URL: http://machine:2301/ where machine is the IP address or the computer name under DNS.
Note: Notice that the URL is followed by :2301. This is the port or socket number that the Web-enabled Management Agents for Servers use to communicate with the browser. If this number is not specified, your browser might attempt to connect to another Web page if the managed server is running a Web server.
After you enter the URL, the Device Home Page displays.
The Device Home Page is the first page displayed when you access the device at port 2301. This page displays available Compaq Web-enabled services. Anonymous access to information is available without logging in when the device home page is launched for the first time. To login as a different user, select the Anonymous Link. The login screen displays. See the Security section below for more information about user accounts.
The following options are available on the Device Home Page:

The Web-enabled Compaq Management Agents for Servers for Microsoft Windows NT allows SNMP sets for some system parameters. This capability requires security that includes the three predefined users and passwords as defined below:
Account |
User Name |
Password |
anonymous |
anonymous |
|
User |
user |
public |
operator |
operator |
operator |
administrator |
administrator |
administrator |
NOTE: These are the only user accounts available in this release, and they cannot be changed except for the password.
Anonymous access to information is available without logging in when the Device Home Page is launched for the first time.
There are three types of data: Default (read only), Sets (read/write), and Reboot (read/write). The WEBAGENT.INI file located in the system_root\cpqmgmt\webagent directory as well as UnixWare 7 webagent.ini in the /opt/compaq/webagent. In NetWare, the WEBAGENT.INI is located at the sys:\system\cpqmgmt\webagent directory, specifies the level of user that has access to data. The "read=" and "write=" entries in the file set the user accounts required for access, where: 0 = No access, 1 = Anonymous, 2 = User, 3 = Operator, and 4 = Administrator. Changing these entries changes the security.
The Web-enabled Management Agents for Servers service must be stopped and restarted for any changes to take effect. Do not modify anything except the read/write levels to change security.
