2.1 Using a Supported Web Browser

For iManager access and complete use of all its features, use one of the following Web browsers.
Although you might be able to access iManager via a Web browser not listed, we do not guarantee or
support full functionality with any browser other than the following:
Microsoft IE 6 SP2 on Windows XP
Microsoft IE 7
Microsoft IE 8
Firefox* 1.5.x, 2.x, or 3.0
In order for some iManager wizards and help to work, you must enable pop-up windows in your
Web browser. If you use an application that blocks pop-up windows, then disable the blocking
feature while working in iManager or allow pop-ups from the iManager host.
If you have configured your Web browser to not display Web site images, the iManager interface
may become garbled and unusable. In Firefox v1.5.x, for example, users can disable image loading
from Tools > Options > Content.
2.2 Accessing iManager
Accessing iManager varies based on the iManager version (server-based or workstation) and the
platform on which iManager is running.
For information on installing iManager, see
2.7 Installation Guide.

2.2.1 Accessing Server-based iManager

To access server-based iManager:
1 Enter one of the following in the Address (URL) field of a supported Web browser.
Because iManager 2.7 uses only Tomcat 5/5.5 for its Web server requirements, on platforms
other than Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) you must specify the Tomcat port as part
of the iManager URL. The default URL to start iManager 2.7 is as follows:
Secure URL:
https://<server ip address>:8443/nps/iManager.html
iManager 2.7 on the OES 2 platform, both Linux and NetWare, use the following default
iManager URL:
