Testing the Web Server

  • Article

After you have created your user and group account for the Web server, you can test the Web server by launching the Web server configuration page from your client computer. This step will demonstrate that your user has been granted administrative rights for the Web server and therefore can access any virtual directory on the Web server.

To launch the Web server configuration page from your client computer

  1. ON CETEST, verify that the VMINI1 icon appears on the taskbar. This icon indicates that you are connected to the network.

  2. Double-click the VMINI1 icon, and then select the IP Information tab.

    Write the IP address in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) box on a notepad.

  3. On PBCLIENT launch Internet Explorer, and type the following information in the address bar:

    http://<IP address from CETEST>/Webadmin

    The Web Server Configuration page appears.

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and then choose the Modify button to the right of the Default Web site box.

    The Default Web Site page appears.

  5. Choose the Configure the virtual directories on this Web site option.

    The Virtual Directory Configuration page appears.

  6. Verify that the following virtual directories are listed on the page:

    • /BasicOnly/
    • /NTLMOnly/
    • /BothAuth/

    Note   You may choose to visit the /BasicOnly/ and /NTLMOnly/ virtual directories and use the Netmon utility to view details about the authentication process that is taking place for both directories.

  7. Choose the Return to the Default Web site configurationpage option.

    The Default Web Site page appears.

  8. Choose the Configure the administrative users for this Web site option.

    The Administrative Users page appears.

  9. Select the Enabled radio button for Testuser, and then choose the Update button.

    A message that your modifications have been saved, and asking you to restart the Web server appears at the top of the page.

  10. To restart the Web Server, from the menu bar, select Restart Web Server.

To launch the network administration page from your client computer

  1. On PBCLIENT launch Internet Explorer, and type the following information in the address bar:

    http://<IP address from CETEST>/networkadmin

    A dialog box asking for the user name and password appears.

  2. Type Testuser in the User name box and the password you created for this user in the Password box, and then choose OK.

    The network administration page appears.

  3. On the network administration page, choose the User Accounts link.

    The User Manager Setup page appears.

  4. On the User Manager Setup page, choose the Modify button next to the Testuser box in the Logon Name column.

    The User Configuration page appears.

  5. On the User Configuration page, type a new password for Testuser, confirm the password, and then choose the Update Password button.

    A dialog box asking for the user name and password appears.

  6. Type Testuser in the User name box and the new password for this user in the Password box, and then choose OK.

    The network administration page will reappear if you have changed your password correctly.
