4.1.1 Using the Administrative Server HTML login

  1. Open the login page either from the Windows Start menu or from the URL:

    • Start > All Programs > Host Access Management and Security Server > Administrative Server (HTML login)

    • http://<hostname>[:port]/mss/Admin.html

      Note: If the port number is 80 (the default for HTTP), it is not needed in the URL. For example, http://myserver.mycompany.com/mss/Admin.html

  2. In the User field, enter either admin (the default) or your site-specific user name.

  3. Enter the administrator password specified during installation and configuration.

    Note: The default password is admin. We recommend that you change this password as soon as possible. In the MSS Administrative Console, go to the Configure Settings - General Settings panel.

  4. Click Login. The MSS Administrative Console opens to the Manage Sessions panel.

    NOTE:If you connect using HTTPS and your server has a self-signed certificate, your browser will warn you about the certificate you created. This is expected behavior. When the warning message is displayed, accept the self-signed certificate to proceed, and the product's administrator login page will open. These warning messages will not appear after you purchase a CA-signed certificate or if you import the self-signed certificate into your browser certificate store.

  5. To see the list of sessions, open Manage Sessions.

  6. Continue with Configure the Administrative Server.
