9.2 Using the PMDF-LAN Web-Based Configuration Utility

This section describes using the web-based PMDF-LAN configuration utility. A command line variant, PMDF CONFIGURE LAN, is also available for sites for whom web configuration is not convenient. The web-based configuration utility can be used to generate an initial PMDF-LAN configuration, or can be used to generate a new configuration of an existing PMDF-LAN installation.

Using Netscape (version 3.0 or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or later), with JavaScript enabled, connect to


http://localhost:7633/ 
where localhost is the TCP/IP name of your PMDF system---you should see a page such as shown in Figure 8-1---and then select the "Configuration Utilities" link; at this point you should see a page such as shown in Figure 8-2.

If your last use of the web-based PMDF configuration utility was to configure PMDF-MTA and your PMDF-MTA configuration has not been manually modified since then, you can "Load" your prior PMDF-MTA configuration session before beginning your PMDF-LAN configuration; or if you want to redo your PMDF-MTA configuration, you can start by doing so now; either will minimize the number of checklist tasks you will later need to perform. Otherwise, you can configure just PMDF-LAN during this configuration sessions (and then perform checklist tasks to integrate your PMDF-LAN configuration into your main PMDF-MTA configuration).

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