Logging on to Unified Manager 67
Programming Operations Guide
Using a HTTP Proxy server
Unified Manager does not work properly if you use a HTTP Proxy server to connect to the
Internet. If you use an HTTP Proxy server, you must change your web browser settings so you can
bypass the Proxy Server when connecting to Business Communications Manager. Proxy
information is located under the internet options/preferences area of your browser.
Note: If the Business Communications Manager system is located outside of your network, or you
have to use a proxy as a gateway proxy to communicate with Business Communications Manager,
this process may not work. To bypass the proxy through the browser, the gateway proxy must be
able to understand and pass distributed component object model (DCOM) calls between Business
Communications Manager and the computer you are using to access Unified Manager.
Logging on to Unified Manager
Use the following procedure to log on to Business Communications Manager using the web
browser:
1
Launch your web browser.
2 BCM 3.7 software provides two ways to access the Unified Manager:
• If you updated from a previous version of software, and you have the Business
Communications Manager address (http://<
IP address >:6800) bookmarked, you will find
that the login is redirected to an https:// entry.
• If you have a new system, enter https//:< IP Address >.
Note: You must include https:// with the address to access Unified Manager when you are
using Internet Explorer as your browser.
Note: If your Business Communications Manager has a network Fully Qualified Domain
Name (FQDN), you can access your system by pointing your browser to that name.
3 If the browser does not automatically launch, click on the Go tab beside the URL address
field.
A security dialog appears.

Security note:
The default security certificate that comes with BCM 3.7 version
software is a self-signed certificate that enables SSL encryption functionality. The default
certificate does not address site authentication since site authentication requires site and
system-specific information such as IP address, company name, and so on. Refer to
“Understanding BCM SSL certificate properties” on page 68 for more information.
