Logging in
When you use Web Tools, you must log in before you can view or modify any switch information.
This section describes the login process.
Prior to displaying the login window, Web Tools displays a security banner (if one is configured for
your switch), that you must accept before logging in. The security banner displays every time you
access the switch.
When you are presented with the login screen you must provide a user name and a password. Your
home Admin Domain is automatically selected. You can select to log in to an Admin Domain other
than your home domain.
NOTE
You must login before you can view Switch Explorer (shown in Figure 3 on page 10).
Use this procedure to log in to the Admin Domain.
1. Click Run on the signed certificate applet.
A warning dialog box may display. If you select the check box Always trust content from this
publisher, the warning dialog box is not displayed when you open Web Tools again.
2. Click OK in the security banner window, if one displays.
3. In the login dialog box, enter your user name and password.
If your current password has expired, you must also provide a new password and confirm the
new password.
