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 InfoPrint Manager Management Console:

  1. Go to Applications and start the InfoPrint Manager Management Console.
  2. Select Security ⇒ Groups and add your ID for use with InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface.

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

To allow job submission and full file viewing in the InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface:

  1. Stop the Web Server and right-click to select Configure....
  2. On the Web Interface tab, select the Allow Job Submission and View Full File checkboxes.
      Note:
    • If you submit large AFP jobs to InfoPrint Manager, then the conversion of AFP to viewable PDF takes time. Try the View Full File option, then decide whether to leave it selected.
  3. Restart the Web Server.
