Introducing NetWare Web Manager
®
NetWare Web Manager is a browser-based management tool used to
configure and manage the NetWare Enterprise Web server. But it also serves
as a front door to other NetWare browser-based management tools, such as
NetWare Remote Manager. It can be likened to a Web site's home page with
links to other resources and tools.
HINT:
Web Manager and many other Web-based management tools used for

when viewing Web Manager access or error log files, or when shutting down or
restarting Web Manager, you are actually affecting the Apache Server, not the

To use Web Manager, you must be using a 4.x or newer Web browser such as
Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator.
If you have a firewall, you need to configure it to allow the Web Manager port
number to be made available. By default, the port number assigned is 2200.
However, this is configurable during and after NetWare 6 installation. When
changing port numbers, refer to
page 285.
