Web-Based Management (WebView)
Feature Exceptions
• WebView uses signed applets for the automatic IP reconfiguration. Those applets are signed using
VeriSign Certificates that expire every year. The certificate used for Internet Explorer and Netscape
expires every August. WebView users have to validate a warning indicating that the certificate used by
the applet has expired.

WebView session logout does not close a TCP port on the OS7000. The port stays in established state until
the web browser is closed and restarted. A session timeout, a WebView logout, or a closure of the browser
session does not cause the remote ports to close.
Workaround: Close the web browser and restart it.

Java Virtual Machine needs to be installed in order to use WebView for use of Java Applets in pages such
as Health Home on the OS7000.
Workaround: If the Java Virtual Machine was not installed along with the browser, please install.

A warning box appears on the Netscape browser when trying to telnet using HP-UX 11.0 or Sun Solaris’
on the OS7000. This is due to missing or invalid telnet settings on the applications used by the browser.
Workaround: Update your telnet settings per the instructions below:
1 Click on the "Edit Menu" on the Netscape Browser and select "Preferences".
2 Select "Navigator" on the "Category" list located to the left of the "Preferences" dialog box.
3 If the "Navigator" category doesn't show subcategories (arrowhead to the left of the "Navigator" label
is pointing to the right), then click on the arrowhead to extend the category (now the arrowhead will point
downwards).
4 Select the "Applications" sub-category.
5 Look for the 'telnet' entry (under the Description column).
6 If there is none, click on the "New..." button below the select box, or select the 'telnet' entry and click
on the "Edit..." button.
