11.2.2 Accessing the Welcome Web Site

Anyone with browser access to an OES 2 server can access the Welcome site by doing the
following:
1 Open a supported Web browser
server is installed.
2 Enter the URL to the server, using HTTP.
For example:
http://server.example.com/welcome
or
http://192.168.1.206/welcome
IMPORTANT: By default, the Welcome site is accessible by entering only the DNS name or
IP address without the path to /welcome as the URL. However, this behavior changes as
follows:

On NetWare, the
sys:/apache2/htdocs/index.html
Welcome site page. If the file is changed, then the behavior reflects the changes made.

On Linux, the Welcome site displays only when there is no
. For example, installing the Web and LAMP Server pattern installs a page that
htdocs
says "It Works!" and the Welcome site is not displayed.
If the Welcome page disappears, include /welcome in the access URL.
For additional information, see
SP3: Installation Guide.

11.2.3 The Welcome Web Site Is Available to All Users

Although the Welcome Web site is designed primarily for administrators, it can also be accessed and
used by end users. For example, if iPrint is installed on the server, users can install the iPrint Client
by clicking the Client Software link and selecting the appropriate client.

11.2.4 Administrative Access from the Welcome Web Site

Administrators can access any of the administrative tools installed on the server by clicking the
Management Services link, selecting the tool they want to use, and entering the required
authentication information.
