Quick Start
To install the Secure Web Administrator's Proxy, you must:
- Set up the Tivoli Storage Manager Server
- Install the Web Administrator Proxy
- Use the Web Administrator Proxy
Do the following on each Tivoli Storage Manager you want to log into with
the Web proxy.
- Ensure that an administrator ID and password that is
dedicated to the Web proxy is registered with the Tivoli Storage Manager
server. For example, to register administrator PROXY with the password
of PROXY, do the following:

register admin proxy proxy
- Note:
- Do not grant any authority to the administrator. If you do, the
security of your Tivoli Storage Manager system could be compromised.
- Set the TCP/IP address (high level) and TCP port (low level)
addresses of the Tivoli Storage Manager server. For example, to set the
TCP/IP address to 9.115.48.123 and the TCP
port address to 1500, do the following:

set serverhladdress 9.115.48.123 (TCP/IP address)
set serverlladdress 1500 (TCP port)
The Web proxy files are on a separate CD-ROM, named Tivoli Storage
Manager Secure Web Administrator Proxy. This CD-ROM is shipped
with Tivoli Storage Manager. The CD-ROM also includes HTML versions of
all Tivoli Storage Manager server and client publications in a self-extracting
zip file. You may also obtain the Web proxy files via the FTP
site. The most recent code can be downloaded from
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/swap/
Look at readme.download to better understand what files
you really need to download. For example, you do not need to download
files that will not be installed (like the German (deu) version of the HTML
support files).
Follow this procedure to install the Web proxy:
- On your Web server machine, download the Web proxy files via FTP or
CD. Put the files in any directory.
- In the directory where you put these Web proxy files, set a case-sensitive
environment variable which points to the JRE's base directory. For
example:
- In the same directory where the Web proxy files are located and where you
set the environment variable, type:
Setup
- Note:
- If you receive the message, Execute permission denied, change the
file permissions.
The Web proxy install wizard appears. Enter the information as
requested:
- The wizard now installs the Web proxy files and completes.
- These next steps to verify if the web proxy was installed correctly depend
on the web server being started. To start your web server, consult the
documentation that came with the server for more information.
- Bring up your Web browser.
- Invoke the proxy by entering the URL that you specified to the
wizard. For example:
http://web/cgi-bin/dsmproxy
If you have set the high and low level server addresses (see 2), the login screen of the administrative Web interface is
displayed. If you have not specified the addresses, a form is displayed
asking for a location.
- Note:
- If you get a web server error: A network error occurred:
unable to connect to server, one reason may be that your Web server has
not been started. Go to the bin directory of your web server
On UNIX :
/opt/webserver/bin
and type:
webserverctl start
- Log into your Tivoli Storage Manager with a regular administrative Web
interface (not the proxy administrative interface).
