IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, Version 7.1.1.3

The web interface

The web interface is the most common way of interacting with the provisioning server. It is an Web-based console viewed in a standard browser and does not have to run on the same computer as the provisioning server.

The supported browser versions are Internet Explorer 6 and above, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.
Note: Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 does not work on Linux PowerPC® 64-bits.

To reach the web interface, type the name of the computer on which the provisioning server is located (or localhost if the browser is on the same computer as the server), with port 8080. With the provisioning server and browser on the same computer, type http://127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser to open the web interface login screen.

To access the web interface, you need a valid user name and password. You entered these into the provisioning server during the product installation.

On the web interface login page, there is a link to navigational tips for first time web interface users. You are strongly encouraged to follow the link and read these tips.

The web interface is divided into five components: You can access these components
