Console layout
You can find the required controls and status of operations if you know the layout of Web Administration Tool.
The IBM® Security Verify Directory Web Administration Tool console consists of five areas.
- Banner area
- The banner is at the top of the page and contains the IBM Security Verify Directory Web Administration Tool application name and the IBM logo.
- Navigation area
- The navigation area is at the left of the page. It contains expandable categories for various console or server tasks. The tasks available might vary depending on the user privileges, the capabilities of the server, or both.
- Work area
- The work area shows the tasks that are associated with the selected task in the navigation area. For example, if you expand Server administration > Managing server security in the navigation area, the work area shows the Settings panel. You can use the tabs on this panel to run tasks that are related to the server security setting.
- Server status area
- The server status area is at the top of the work area. It shows
the server name, server status, and user ID of the logged in user.
It also shows two icon links, one to Start/Stop/Restart the server
and the other is general help information. When you select a task,
the name of the selected task, a link to the error log files, and
a task help link are shown. Note: If you are login as the console administrator, this area shows Console administrator and provides a link to the table of contents for task helps.
- Task status area
- The task status area is at the bottom of the work area. It shows the status of the current task.
