Welcome Pages

OES Linux Welcome Pages provide an introduction to OES components and links to administrative and user-level tools. You can access these Welcome Pages using a web browser to connect to the IP address or DNS name of the OES Linux server. For example:

http://www.quills.com or http:/ /192.168.1.100

ConsoleOne

ConsoleOne is a Java-based tool for managing your network and its resources. Although not shipped as part of OES Linux, ConsoleOne for Linux, and several other platforms, it can be downloaded from http://support.novell.com.

ConsoleOne is not capable of managing all components of OES Linux. However, some administrative tasks (such as eDirectory administration) can still be performed via ConsoleOne.

iManager

iManager provides role-based management of your OES Linux network, together with a nearly comprehensive set of administrative tools. When you've loaded iManager, you will use it to perform most of the day-to-day administrative tasks in your OES environment, including management of most services that are available with OES Linux.

You can access the iManager web page by appending the iManager path (/nps/iManagerl) to the IP address or DNS name of the server running iManager. For example:

https://www.quills.com/nps/iManagerl or https://192.168.1.100/nps/iManagerl To force iManager into Simple mode to support Federal accessibility guidelines, use the Simple mode path (/nps/Simplel). For example:

https://www.quills.com/nps/Simplel or https://192.168.1.100/nps/Simplel You will be prompted to authenticate using a valid eDirectory username. Users can access only the iManager features for which they have been assigned rights.

Novell Remote Manager

Novell Remote Manager (NRM) is used for remote management of OES Linux servers.

NRM is launched directly by accessing the OES Linux server's domain name or IP address via secure HTTP, followed by a colon and the port number (default is 8009). For example:

https://www.quills.com:8009 or https://192.168.1.100:8009 You will be prompted to authenticate. For access to all NRM features, the user should authenticate as the root user on the local SLES machine.

iMonitor

iMonitor is used for web-based management and maintenance of Novell eDirectory in your OES Linux network.

Launch iMonitor from iManager by selecting "Repair via iMonitor" under the eDirectory Maintenance group. Alternatively, you can go straight to iMonitor using the following URL:
