Accessing the Web Interface
4-3
■
If you are accessing the web interface for the first time, enter a
default user name and password to match your access requirements.
The defaults are described in “Logging in as a Default User” on
page 3-9. If you are setting up the stack for management, we
suggest that you log on as
admin
(which has no default password).
To prevent unauthorized configuration of the stack, we recommend
that you change the default passwords as soon as possible. To do this
using the web interface, you need to log in as each default user and
then follow the steps described in “Changing Your Password” on
page 4-22.
If you forget your password while logged out of the web interface, see
“Solving Problems That Occur When Using the Web Interface” on
page 8-2.
Once you have entered a correct user name and password, one of two
events occur:
■
If you are accessing the web interface for the first time, a set of
Getting Started pages are displayed. These are described in “About
The Getting Started Pages” on page 4-4.
■
If you have accessed the web interface before, the main web
interface is displayed. For information about the interface, see
“About the Main Web Interface” on page 4-6.
If you are unable to access the web interface, see “Solving Problems
That Occur When Using the Web Interface” on page 8-2.
ATTENTION:
While multiple users can access the web interface at any
one time, too many users may result in a slow response time for the
web pages, or the error message “document contains no data”. We
therefore recommend that you limit the number of users with access.
While you are managing the stack, you can view other web pages
using your browser, and then simply use the Back button to reload the
web management pages. You do not need to re-enter your username
and password.
Exiting the Web
Interface
You can exit the web interface at any time; to do this, close your Web
browser. For security reasons, you should always close your Web
browser after a management session.
