1.9 Accessing iManager

IMPORTANT:You must access iManager multiple times in this guide. If you get a Tomcat error in response to any launch requests, see Section A.2, iManager Tomcat Error.

Novell iManager is the main browser-based tool you use to manage eDirectory and your OES 2 services.

To start iManager and prepare your browser for future sessions:

  1. On your getting-started lab workstation, in your Web browser, open the OES 2 Welcome page by entering the following URL:

    http://IP_or_DNS

    where IP_or_DNS is the IP address or DNS name of your OES 2 server.

  2. Click the Management Services tab.

  3. On the Available Services page, click iManager.

    You can also start iManager directly by including /nps after IP_or_DNS in the access URL. For example, enter http://192.168.1.100/nps.

  4. You should receive a security alert, such as a warning that the connection is not trusted.

    Select the options to continue, such as I Understand the Risks > Add Exception.

  5. Make sure that the option to permanently store the exception is selected if available, then confirm the exception.

  6. Log in as the eDirectory Admin user:

    1. In the Username field, type admin.

    2. In the Password field, type the eDirectory Admin user password.

    3. In the Tree field, type example_tree.

      If SLP services are not working properly, you need to enter the IP address instead of the tree name.

    4. Click Login.

  7. Do not close iManager. Continue with the next section, Configuring the Browser for the eDirectory CA.
