Chapter 5. ASMI Module Usage
In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection, you need a browser that
supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only assured by using a key length of 128 Bit. Some old
browsers do not offer a strong 128 Bit encryption algorithm. For security reasons you should use a
modern browser that supports proper encryption.
Using the Internet Explorer, open the menu entry "?" and "Info" to find out about the key length that is
currently activated. The dialog box contains a link that leads you to information on how to upgrade your
browser to a state of the art encryption scheme.
Figure 5-1 shows the dialog box presented by the
Internet Explorer 6.0.

Modern web browsers support strong encryption by default.
Login and Logout to the ASMI Module
Login into the ASMI module
Open your web browser. Type in the address of your ASMI module which you configured during the
installation process. The address used might be a plain IP address or a host and domain name in case you
have given your ASMI module a symbolic name in the DNS or another Name Service in your
organisation. For instance type the following in the address line of your browser when establishing an
unsecured connection:
http://192.168.1.22/
In order to use a secure connection simply type:
https://192.168.1.22/
This will take you to the ASMI module login page as shown in Figure 5-2 .
