5. Administering

To administer the server, install Ideco Gateway Manager (administrative interface) on a computer within the local network. To do so:

Insert the compact disk into the CD-ROM drive. In a few seconds, a Web page will open where you must click the link that reads Ideco Gateway manager. Click Open in the confirmation request dialog box. If CD-ROM autorun has been turned off, visit the directory GatewayManager on the compact disk and execute setup.exe.

Note: You can also install Ideco Gateway Manager by clicking the link "Download Gateway Manager" under the tree of users.

If you have chosen to connect over VPN as the administrator, establish a VPN connection as described in the previous section, if you have not done so already.

Run the application by opening the Gateway Manager shortcut on the Desktop. In the connection dialog box that appears, type "Administrator" as the login name and "servicemode" as the password. If you have selected authentication over VPN in the installation wizard, specify 10.128.0.0 as the server address. If you have selected authentication by IP, specify the local address of the server: 10.0.0.1

Take a look at how the interface is organized; explore the examples of various ways to group users.
