This section describes how to use the web-based PMDF-LAN configuration utility. This utility can be used to generate an initial PMDF-LAN configuration, or it can be used to generate a new configuration of an existing PMDF-LAN installation.

With JavaScript enabled, point your web browser (Netscape version 3.0 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later) to

http://localhost:7633/

where localhost is the TCP/IP name of your PMDF system. At this point, you should see a screen similar to the one shown in Figure 5-3.

Select the Configuration Utilities link. You will then be asked to authenticate yourself. Do so as Administrator. At this point you should see a screen similar to the one shown in Figure 5-4.

If your last use of the web-based PMDF configuration utility was to configure PMDF-MTA, and your PMDF-MTA configuration has not been modified manually since then, you can load your prior PMDF-MTA configuration session before you begin your PMDF-LAN configuration. If you want to redo your PMDF-MTA configuration, you can start by doing so now. Otherwise, you can configure just PMDF-LAN during this configuration session. (Both options will minimize the number of checklist tasks you will need to do later.)

Click on the Configure button for PMDF-LAN to begin the configuration.
