The interface is presented using secure (HTTP-S) connections. You will be asked to authenticate yourself before using the administrative interface (you must be a defined administrator).

You can use the following URLs to access the IBM Administration Server interface directly:

    'http://hostname:8008' (non-secure connections)
    'https://hostname:8009' (secure connections)

System Administration lets you administer the system (hardware and Linux operating system) by launching the system administrative interface (the Appliance System Manager). The interface is presented using secure (HTTP-S) connections. You will be asked to authenticate yourself before using the administrative interface (you must be a defined administrator).

You can use the following URLs to access the Appliance System Manager interface directly:
