Installing the Secure Web Administrator Proxy - Overview

To install the Secure Web Administrator's Proxy, you must:

Setting Up the Tivoli Storage Manager Server

Do the following on each Tivoli Storage Manager you want to log into with the Web proxy.

  1. Ensure that an administrator ID and password that is dedicated to the Web proxy is registered with the Tivoli Storage Manager server. For example, to register administrator PROXY with the password of PROXY, do the following:


    Admin Command Line

    register admin proxy proxy
    
    Note:
    Do not grant any authority to the administrator. If you do, the security of your Tivoli Storage Manager system could be compromised.
  2. Set the TCP/IP address (high level) and TCP port (low level) addresses of the Tivoli Storage Manager server. For example, to set the TCP/IP address to 9.115.48.123 and the TCP port address to 1500, do the following:


    Admin Command Line

    set serverhladdress 9.115.48.123 (TCP/IP address)
    set serverlladdress 1500 (TCP port)
    

Installing the Secure Web Administrator Proxy

The Web proxy files are on a separate CD-ROM, named Tivoli Storage Manager Secure Web Administrator Proxy. This CD-ROM is shipped with Tivoli Storage Manager. The CD-ROM also includes HTML versions of all Tivoli Storage Manager server and client publications in a self-extracting zip file. You may also obtain the Web proxy files via the FTP site. The most recent code can be downloaded from

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/swap/

Look at readme.download to better understand what files you really need to download. For example, you do not need to download files that will not be installed (like the German (deu) version of the HTML support files).

Using the Secure Web Administrator Proxy

  1. These next steps to verify if the web proxy was installed correctly depend on the web server being started. To start your web server, consult the documentation that came with the server for more information.
  2. Bring up your Web browser.
  3. Invoke the proxy by entering the URL that you specified to the wizard. For example: If you have set the high and low level server addresses (see 2), the login screen of the administrative Web interface is displayed. If you have not specified the addresses, a form is displayed asking for a location.
    Note:
    If you get a web server error: A network error occurred: unable to connect to server, one reason may be that your Web server has not been started. Go to the bin directory of your web server

    On UNIX :

     /opt/webserver/bin
    

    and type:

     webserverctl start
    
  4. Log into your Tivoli Storage Manager with a regular administrative Web interface (not the proxy administrative interface).
