7.2  Starting the Web Interface

It is not necessary to have the Director running on your system in order to use SEA. In fact, WEBES need not be installed on the browser's system at all. However, WEBES must be installed and the Director must be running on the target system in order to connect to its SEA system. Therefore, before using the web interface, you must ensure the Director is started on the target system.

For additional information about supported browsers and configuring your browser for SEA, see Appendix C.

Accessing the Web Interface

  1. Start the Director on the system you want to connect to, if it has not been started already (see Section 3.7).
  2. Start your web browser.
  3. Enter the URL of the target system to connect to it.
https://target.sys.name.here:7902
https://localhost:7902
In some network configurations, the name localhost may not be recognized. Enter the system's hostname or its IP address (such as https://12.34.56.78:7902) instead.
If you are using Internet Explorer, be sure to include the https://.
  1. Enter the profile name you want to use in the Logon window (Figure 7–1) and Click the Logon button or press Enter. See Section 10.5 for more information on profiles.

Although you must log on to SEA, the logout process is automatic. See Section 7.11 for a description of the automatic logout process.
