56.1.3 Using Novell Remote Manager

If the WebAccess Agent is running on NetWare 6.5 or on Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES),
you can use the IP Address Management feature in Novell Remote Manager (Manage Server > IP
Address Management) to view the IP address and port configuration for the WebAccess Agent. This
is also true for other GroupWise agents (MTA, POA, and Internet Agent) running on NetWare 6.5/
OES servers.
IMPORTANT: If the WebAccess Agent is running on NetWare in protected mode, it does not
display in Novell Remote Manager.
You access Novell Remote Manager by entering the following URL in a Web browser:
http://server_address:8008
For example:
http://172.16.5.18:8008

WebAccess Agent and management console. The Trap variables provide warnings that point to
current and potential problems. The Set variables allow you to configure portions of the application
while it is still running. The Get variables display the current status of different processes of the
