Configuring the InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface from the management interfaces

You can configure the InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface (Web GUI) from the management interfaces: InfoPrint Manager Management Interface (MMI), InfoPrint Manager Management Console (MMC), InfoPrint System Management Interface Tool (SMIT), and InfoPrint Manager Web Management Interface (WMI).

    Important:
  • Make sure that there is an entry for IP address, hostname.domain, and hostname in the /etc/hosts file on your AIX or Linux server. For example: 172.27.14.118 ironman.bldev.infoprint.com ironman (Syntax: IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname).
  • When adding users to the InfoPrint Manager Access Control Lists (ACLs), the changes suggested in this section are needed for the FST Mode of security and for using InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI and InfoPrint Manager Operations GUI. If Active Directory / LDAP implementation is planned or completed, it is still useful to have the FST admin users in place as backup. However, those user IDs are not used once LDAP is enabled in InfoPrint Manager. Do not add the DefaultUser for Web GUI to the admin Group in InfoPrint Manager.

To set Web GUI user permissions and access levels, assign the user to a specific FST User profile within an ACL group configured in a management interface. Follow these steps to add users to Access Control Lists (ACLs) from SMIT:

  1. In an AIX command prompt, type smitty ipr.
  2. Select Security ⇒ Groups.
  3. Select Add Users to Group and add administrators to admin.
  4. Add any desired users to JobViewer.

To add users to Access Control Lists (ACLs) from the InfoPrint Manager Web Management Interface, see the InfoPrint Manager Web Management Interface Help.

To start the Web Server:

  1. Log in as ipm1 (or custom user for InfoPrint Manager) or su to ipm1, unless InfoPrint Manager was installed with root as the InfoPrint Manager user.
  2. In an AIX command prompt, type smitty ipr.
  3. Select InfoPrint Utilities ⇒ Web Server ⇒ Start the Web Server.
  4. Select one of the options in the list and press Enter.

To change the default settings:

  1. Select InfoPrint Utilities ⇒ Web Server ⇒ Web Interface Settings.
      Note:
    • You should change only the Allow job submissions and View Full File settings.
    • The default value for Allow job submissions is no. If you change it to yes, all users are allowed to submit jobs.
    • If the value for View Full File is no, only the first page of the job is quickly presented in the Job Viewer. However, you can still go through the entire job. If you change it to yes, the presentment of the first page takes longer for larger jobs, because the entire job is processed first.
