Starting Web Client

You can also open the client user interface in a browser. See Supported Web Browsers on page 19.
The URL is
http://[application server hostname or IP address]:8080
The default login user is admin, with a password of admin. The first time you log in, you can select
a password reminder. If you have forgotten your password, click the Forgot Password link in the
initial screen to begin a sequence that concludes by mailing your user's e-mail address a password.
CAUTION:
For this forgotten password sequence to work, you must configure users' e-mails correctly. Click the link
that is your user name in the upper right corner of the portal to configure your account's settings for this
and other things. The same configuration settings are available in Control Panel's tabs labeled as your
login.
The application server hostname is the name of the system where OpenManage Network Manager
is installed.
HTTPS
You can connect to application server securely by configuring the included Apache Tomcat server
for secure access. Consult your favorite search engine for more detailed information about setting
up SSL with Tomcat web servers.
The following sections discuss typical administrative steps in getting started, once you have
installed OpenManage Network Manager. See Getting Started on page 27 for a list of, and links to,
other initial tasks once you have installed Dell OpenManage Network Manager.
Changing the Session Timeout Period
The timeout for the web portal extends automatically if data is changing onscreen. Nevertheless,
you can change the timeout period with (non-override-able) properties in some files, as follows:
You must modify two web.xml files with the same values to alter the session timeout. One
controls the overall server and the other is the push servers for Async-based views. These web.xml
files are in the following directories:
/dorado/oware/synergy/tomcat-XX/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml
And
/dorado/oware/synergy/tomcat-xx/webapps/netview/WEB-INF/web.xml
The xml element that contains the session timeout is
<session-config>
