Installing Web Manager


Administrator Login

The SEAGULL Web Manager uses a slightly different URL for Administrator Login. This is done for security purposes. By making the physical path different, it is less likely that an end user will be able to “accidentally” login as an administrator.

To login as the administrator, add a forward slash followed by the word admin (/admin) to the end of the URL that you use to access the Web Manager login page and press enter.

Example: http://www.yourhost.com/swm/admin

You will be presented with the Web Manager Administrative Login Screen as shown:

Use the following default "top level "account to login to Web Manager:

LoginID = owner

Password = owner

Upon logging in with the above LoginID and password, Web Manager will present you with the main Admin Home page as shown below:

You can now start the process of entering users and host information. Please note the “Getting Started and “Help” links on this page.

NOTE  If you want to “administer” Web Manager from this server, make sure that any files that you create have write permissions set to “Everyone”. Web Manager requires that the administrator as well as end users have the ability to write to certain Web Manager files on the web server. Otherwise, you may encounter errors when setting up and configuring users from a remote PC and also, end users may encounter errors that have to do with not having write permission to certain files.

If this is a brand new installation of Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, the default file permissions will work just fine.
