1 Using the Administration Utility
The Administration utility for Internet Express helps you manage Internet services and the AlphaServer
system through a Web browser. Because you use a browser to perform these tasks, you are not
expected to be familiar with Tru64 UNIX.
The Administration utility is a set of CGI programs that use a configured instance of the Secure
Web Server (powered by Apache) on port 8081. You access the Administration utility by entering
the following URL in a Web browser running on a local system:
http://host.domain.name:8081/
The Administration utility server is password-protected. You must provide a user name (admin by
default) and a password (which is set during installation).
Using the Administration utility, you can perform the following types of tasks:
•Manage user accounts — You can create various types of user accounts to provide access to
Internet services. By default, an administrator can manage user accounts only from the local
system (that is, the system on which Internet Express software is installed). However, you can
use Web Server Administration functions to allow access from remote systems. See Chapter 3
for more information.
•Administer Internet services — You configure Internet services (such as anonymous FTP, the
Squid proxy/caching server, and InterNetNews) to operate within your environment, view
log files to determine how users are making use of the Internet services you provide, and link
to the sysman utility to shut down and reboot the system, manage local printers, and perform
other system management
•Access online documentation — The Documentation Bookshelf allows you to:
Access the complete set of Internet Express documentation in HTML, and PDF formats.

Accessing Administration Servers
Internet Express provides the following administration servers for managing Internet services:
•Administration Utility —A set of CGI programs that use a configured instance of the Secure
Web Server listening on port 8081 (and port 8089, for backward compatibility with previous
releases).
•Internet Monitor administration — The Internet Express installation script installs the Internet
Monitor Administration Server on port 8086.
The administration servers installed are password protected. When you attempt to access one of
these servers, you must provide the user name (admin by default) and password (which is set
during installation). To change the password for the Internet Express Administration utility, see
Chapter 7.
Note:
The Secure Web Server is initially configured to allow access to the Internet Express Administration
utility from the local system only. To allow access from remote systems, see the Secure Web ServerAdministration Guide.
Table 2 summarizes the ports on which the administration accounts are installed by default, and
shows the URLs for accessing these accounts. In the URLs shown in Table 2, host.domain.name
represents the fully qualified host name of the local system (the system on which Internet Express
is installed).
Table 2 Internet Express Accounts and Ports
URLDescriptionPort Number
Internet Express8081
Internet Monitor8086
http://host.domain.name:8081/
http://host.domain.name:8086/
You access the administration servers from an HTML-based Web browser. Enter the appropriate
URL, as shown in Table 2.
22Using the Administration Utility
Note:
A user who accesses the Administration utility is granted the ability to access privileged files and
perform system management tasks until exiting from the browser. The user retains privileges even
when browsing files that are not part of Internet Express.
Do not leave an Administration session unattended. Also, limit access to the admin account to
those individuals authorized to perform Internet system management tasks.
Accessing the Internet Express Login Account
The Internet Express installation procedure creates the iass login account, which you can use to
view the names and passwords for Internet Express captive accounts you have created using the
Administration utility (Chapter 3).
The iass account receives mail when:
•You create a captive user account (named or generic).
•Statistics for the InterNetNews (INN) server are generated. (A nightly report is mailed to the
iass account.)
•The news server is down.
During installation, you can specify a forwarding address for the iass account to have this mail
sent to a more convenient e-mail address.
You can access the iass account using two methods:
•By logging in from the Tru64 UNIX command line. The password for the iass account is set
during installation.
•By using the Manage iass Account menu item from the Manage Users menu (see Section :
Managing the iass Account).
Note:
If the locker account exists from a previously installed version of Internet Express, the iass
account is set up as an alias for the locker account.
Accessing and Managing the Internet Monitor
The HP Internet Monitor software allows administrators to monitor Internet services running on a
Tru64 UNIX system. The Internet Monitor product can be accessed directly or from the Administration
utility for Internet Express.
To access the Internet Monitor from the Administration utility:
1.Choose Manage Components from the Internet Express main menu.
2.In the Manage Components table, click on Internet Monitor under Quality of Service. The
Internet Services Administration server prompts for your user ID and password, then lets you
proceed.
To enable or disable the Internet Monitor from running, you use the Start/Stop the Internet Monitor
menu option from the Administration utility. For details, see the Internet Monitor Administrator'sGuide.
To configure the Internet Monitor components, see the Internet Monitor Administrator's Guide.
Managing Internet Express in a TruCluster Environment
TruCluster Server software provides high availability for Tru64 UNIX systems. This chapter describes
the special considerations to administer Internet Express running in a cluster running TruCluster
Server Version 5.0 and higher software.
Accessing the Internet Express Login Account23
Using Internet Express Services in a Cluster
If you are running Internet Express in a cluster, be aware of the following considerations:
•For all services, use the cluster alias to access the service to provide highest availability. All
services have been configured to allow the cluster alias to be used.
•InterNetNews, Squid, Internet Relay Chat, OpenLDAP, and Tomcat run as single-instance
servers. Only one instance of these servers will be run within the cluster. The/sbin/init.d
scripts have been modified to use Cluster Application Availability (CAA) for these services.
The service names are innd, squid, ircd, and slapd respectively.
•The Secure Web Servers and the sendmail daemon run on all cluster members concurrently.
Connections are distributed amongst the cluster members based on how the cluster alias has
been configured. See cluamgr(8).
•All other services use inetd to make connections and start server processes. Connections
are also distributed for these services among the cluster members.
TruCluster Impact on Internet Express Administration
There are some specific variations of the Administration utility user interface if you are running
Internet Express in a TruCluster Server cluster environment. These variations include the following:
•Depending on the type of service, the active status of the service for each member where it
may run is displayed.
•Starting and stopping a service applies to the entire cluster. If more than one instance of a
service is running in the cluster, all are affected.
•Some information is specific to each member in the cluster. In these cases, a listbox is displayed
at the top of the page, indicating which member is being affected. The listbox contains all
cluster member names; selecting a different member will cause the display and subsequent
actions to affect the selected member. The instances where this is the case include the following:
◦Tuning the kernel for Internet services
◦Installing and managing FireScreen
◦Displaying the mail log file
◦Shutting down or rebooting the operating system
Installing and Removing Components
You can use the Administration utility to add new Internet components or remove previously installed
components, as well as include your own component on the Manage Components menu.
To add or remove Internet components, follow these steps:
1.From the Administration utility Main menu, choose Install/Remove Components.
2.If the information from a recent Internet Express installation exists in the /tmp directory, the
Subset Selection form is displayed. Otherwise, the Administration utility prompts you for the
mount point and the CD-ROM device name before displaying the Subset Selection Form.
The Subset Selection form lists each Internet Express subset, identifies those that are mandatory,
and indicates whether each optional subset has already been installed.
3.On the Subset Selection form:
•To install a component, click on Install.
•To remove a component, click on Remove. (You cannot remove a mandatory subset.)
4.Scroll to the bottom of the form and click on Submit.
To include your own component on the Administration Utility Manage Components menu (Figure 3),
create a file in the /usr/internet/httpd/admin/htdocs/osis/components directory,
24Using the Administration Utility
one line per file, that includes fields with the table category name, component title and description,
and URL link. Each field must be separated by a semi-colon to ensure the file is correctly parsed
for display in the Manage Components table. The category name can be the same as an existing
category or a completely new category.
The following example is the menu configuration file for the IMP Webmail component. (The IMP
Webmail component is part of the Mail category in the Manage Components table.)
Mail;IMP Webmail;/mail/manage_imp.php
If the new component requires a URL that includes the hostname and cluster alias, the following
keywords (Table 3) will be substituted with the appropriate value when the keywords appear in
the URL that you provide in the menu configuration file:
Table 3 Keywords for URL Line

26Using the Administration Utility
Tuning Kernel Attribute Values
By tuning attribute values in the following kernel subsystems, you can optimize the Internet-related
services running on your AlphaServer system for various process loads, system configurations,
network topologies, and other conditions:
•Generic subsystem (generic)
•Internet subsystem (inet)
•Network subsystem (net)
•Process subsystem (proc)
•Socket subsystem (socket)
•Virtual memory subsystem (vm)
For detailed information on how each kernel subsystem attribute affects the performance of Internet
services on an AlphaServer system, see Tuning Compaq Tru64 UNIX for Internet Services, available
at the following URL:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/internet/TITLE.HTM
To use the Administration utility to tune Internet-related kernel subsystem attributes, follow these
steps:
1.Ensure that JavaScript is enabled in your browser preferences.
2.From the Administration utility Main menu, choose Manage Components.
3.From the Manage Components menu, under System, choose Tune the Kernel for Internet
Services.
The Administration utility queries the running kernel (using the sysconfig -q command)
and the system configuration file (using the sysconfigdb -l command) to obtain the values
to display in the Run-Time Value and Boot-Time Value text fields, respectively.
If any messages occurred while the Administration utility was building the Tune the Kernel for
Internet Services form, a link appears at the top of the form. Click on this link for details.
4.Use either of the following methods to tune the values in these text fields:
•Type a value in the Run-Time Value field to change the value in the running kernel.
Type a value in the Boot-Time Value field to replace the value in the /etc/sysconfigtab
file.
•Click on one of the following buttons in the Suggested Values column:
◦Recommended—Sets both the Run-Time Value and the Boot-Time Value to the
optimized value recommended for AlphaServer systems with average loads, under
normal conditions, and typical server hardware and network configurations.
Note:
Because AlphaServer configurations differ, and a recommended value might not
provide optimal performance for all configurations, exercise caution when modifying
attribute values.
◦Current—Sets both the Run-Time Value and Boot-Time Value to the run-time value the
attribute had when the form was initially displayed.
◦Default—Sets both the Run-Time Value and the Boot-Time Value to the default setting
for the attribute.
5.To set the attribute values as shown on the form, click on Submit. To discard any changes you
made, click on Reset.
Run-Time Value changes are set in the running kernel and take effect immediately.
Accessing Web-Based System Management Tools27
Boot-Time Value changes are set in the system configuration file (/etc/sysconfigtab) and
take effect the next time you boot the system.
6.After you submit the form, it is redisplayed and shows the attribute value changes that you
made. Reboot the operating system for these changes to take effect. When you reboot, the
boot-time attribute values become the run-time attribute values and the run-time values you
previously set are lost.

Version 5 protocols that provides a more generic bind(2) functionality, similar to what non-SOCKS
programs expect.
