ZoneRanger User Interfaces
ZoneRanger provides two primary user interfaces:
•
A web based interface that can be accessed directly via HTTP on TCP port 80 or HTTPS on
TCP port 443, or via proxy through a joined Ranger Gateway.
•
A text-based command-line interface that can be accessed directly via Telnet on TCP port
23, or SSH on TCP port 22, or via proxy through a joined Ranger Gateway.
When accessing the ZoneRanger through either the web interface or text interface, you will need to
authenticate with a login ID and password.
(Administrator and Operator) and are shipped with the following initial user configuration:
User Name
admin
operator
When using the web interface, the administrator authorization level enables access to all
ZoneRanger configuration and operation menus. Users having operator access are able to view the
ZoneRanger status, and information regarding managed devices and associated protocol traffic, but
are not allowed to configure the ZoneRanger or initiate administrative actions. For security, users
are automatically logged out of the ZoneRanger web interface after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Reference documentation for the ZoneRanger web interface is provided in Chapter 30.
The text interface requires administrator authorization privileges. Users with operator authorization
are not permitted to access the ZoneRanger text interface. Reference documentation for the
ZoneRanger text interface is provided in Chapter 32.
Ranger Gateway User Interfaces
Ranger Gateway provides two user interfaces:
1. A GUI-based client application, called the Ranger Gateway Viewer.
2. A text-based command-line interface, consisting of a set of commands that can be executed
from an operating system shell on the server where the Ranger Gateway has been installed.
The Ranger Gateway command interface is implemented as a set of executable commands, installed
in a bin directory. In the case of Solaris and Linux, this directory also includes a command to start
the Ranger Gateway Viewer application. The location of this bin directory is dependent on the
operating system:
Operating System
Linux
Solaris
Windows
where <install_dir> is the directory where the Ranger Gateway software was installed.
To start the Ranger Gateway Viewer on a Solaris or Linux system, run the
command from an operating system shell. To start the Ranger Gateway Viewer on a Windows
system, select Programs > Tavve > Ranger Gateway Viewer from the Start menu. Reference
documentation for the Ranger Gateway Viewer is provided in Chapter 33.
All of the commands which comprise the Ranger Gateway command interface are executed from an
operating system shell. You can execute any command with a -? argument to display the usage
information for that command, as illustrated in the following figure.
