Introducing NetWare Web Manager

NetWare^® Web Manager is a browser-based management tool used to configure and manage the NetWare Enterprise Web server. But it also serves as a front door to other NetWare browser-based management tools, such as NetWare Remote Manager. It can be likened to a Web site's home page with links to other resources and tools.

HINT:  Web Manager and many other Web-based management tools used for managing NetWare 6 rely on the industry leading Apache Web server. Therefore, when viewing Web Manager access or error log files, or when shutting down or restarting Web Manager, you are actually affecting the Apache Server, not the NetWare Enterprise Web Server.

Using a workstation and Web browser, you can access Web Manager either locally (from within your WAN or LAN), or from remote locations where you have Internet access. Web Manager lets you

• Manage the Enterprise Web Server
• Monitor Web server activity
• Set up and manage user authentication and access to information on your server using Novell^® eDirectory^TM or local database modes
• Access other browser-based management tools such as NetWare Remote Manager or NetWare Web Search Server (see Table 1, NetWare 6 Web-based Management Tools)
