Logging Into the Web Manager
106 AlterPath OnBoard Administrator’s Guide
Logging Into the Web Manager
Two types of administrative users can access all the Web Manager functions
described in this guide:
• An administrator who knows the password for the “admin” account,
which is configured by default
• An optionally-added administrative user (a regular user whose account is
in the “admin” group)
For more details about the differences between user types, see “Types of
Users” in the AlterPath OnBoard User’s Guide.
OnBoard administrative users, like regular users, can access the Web Manager
from a browser using HTTP or HTTPS either over the Internet or through a
dial-in or callback PPP connection.
Also like regular users, administrative users can use default menu options that
appear on the first Web Manager screen after login to do the following:
• Access devices
• Manage power
• Change their own passwords
In addition to being able to perform all the tasks regular authorized users can
perform, administrative users can use the Web Manager for configuring users,
devices, and other OnBoard features that enable the enforcement of the
organization’s security policies.
