Logging on to AppleShare IP Remote Admin

    To use AppleShare IP Remote Admin, the Web & File Server must be running, Web service must be turned on, remote administration via a Web browser must be turned on, and Web plug-ins must be enabled. To log on to AppleShare IP Remote Admin, follow these steps:
    1 On any computer connected to your AppleShare IP network, open a recommended Web browser program.
    Apple recommends Micreosoft Internet Explorer 4.0.1 or later or Netscape Navigator™ 4.0.1 or later.
    2 Type your server's URL in the browser's Address field as follows:
    http://serverDNSname/.admin
    Replace "serverDNSname" with the DNS name or the TCP/IP address for your AppleShare IP Web & File Server.
    To find your server's DNS name, open the AppleShare IP Manager program on your server and choose Show Network Info from the Manager menu.
    3 Type your name and password in the Name and Password text fields, then click "Log on."
    The AppleShare IP Remote Server Administration home page appears and shows the current status of the AppleShare IP servers. Click one of the Users, Web, File, Mail or Print buttons at the top of the page to administer those areas.

    To return to the previous page you were on, click the back button in your browser program.

Security issues

    Web-based Remote Admin uses Java™ Applets to provide secure, encrypted log-ons and password updates between the administrator's Web browser and the AppleShare IP Web Server. In addition, all http requests between the Web browser and the Web Server are routed through TCP port 311 which has been specifically registered for use by the AppleShare IP Remote Admin software. An administrator can further restrict access to port 311 through the use of the TCP Filter software. (Information on TCP Filter is available on your server in AppleShare IP Help.)
