Chapter 3: Web Manager for All Users 37
The Java applets rely on the Java plug-in being installed on the workstation and registered with the
browser being used.
Installing the Java 2 Runtime Environment (J2RE) Standard Edition software automatically installs
the needed Java plug-in. After you download and install the JRE software, you then must make sure
the Java plug-in is registered with the browser. See the http://java.sun.com website for
more information.
Logging Into the Web Manager for Regular Users
Both authorized users and MergePoint 5224/5240 appliance administrators can access the Web
Manager from a browser using HTTP or HTTPS over the Internet or through a dial-in or callback
PPP connection.
After being authenticated during login, authorized users can use the Web Manager to log into target
devices, manage power and change their own passwords, but they cannot use the Web Manager for
configuring users or target devices. Any number of regular users can connect to the Web Manager
at the same time.
MergePoint 5224/5240 appliance administrators can perform additional user and target device
configuration tasks through the Web Manager. See the MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor
Manager Installer and Administrator Guide for details.
Figure 3.1 shows the login screen for the Web Manager that appears when the MergePoint 5224/
5240 appliance IP address is entered in a Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.
