3. Before Starting WebAdmin

Before starting WebAdmin, you need to first run the WebtoB wsracd command.

For more information, refer to wsracd in WebtoB Administrator’s Guide.

  • When you need to use user ID and password (need to change wsracd privileges)

    1. Grant wsracd root privileges.

    2. Grant 'sticky bit' to wsracd (check the result).

    3. Run wsracd.

      Since wsracd is executed with root privileges, WEBTOBDIR and library settings are required for the root.

  • When you don’t need to use the user ID and password (no need to change wsracd privileges)

    1. Run wsracd -a (anonymous mode).

4. Starting WebAdmin

The following describes how to start WebAdmin.

  1. Enter the following in the web browser address bar.

    http://<IP address>:9000

  2. On the login page, enter the administrator ID and password, host, and port and then click [Log In]. Enter the host and port of wsracd. The default port is 3333. If wsracd is not running or wsracd is using a port other than the default port, then login will fail.
