148 Starting The Application
after a colon. If you have a popup blocker installed, you may have to click a link in the first web
page that opens. When the web client opens, it presents a login screen. Once you log in, a subset of
the application’s services appear on the left navigation pane.
NOTE:
When you first log in, you may have to restart the browser once you have reset your password.
For information about how to use the interface for web client capabilities, consult the relevant
portion of this guide.
CAUTION:
When you start a Web client, you must have a screen resolution of at least 1024x768. A warning message
appears if you do not have this screen resolution, and while you can see the client, you can work with it
only with difficulty. If all fields in a screen do not appear, resize the browser.
Also: Firefox is an open source browser, so many variations are available. Supported versions come from
www.mozilla.com. If you get an unsupported version, you may see a message like Unexpected errors
may occur.
In some cases the main title bar of the browser may not reflect which editor was just opened.
Re-sizing the browser can sometimes interfere with screen appearance. Other times, frame
elements do not automatically update. For example, deleting a layout does not update the available
layout list visible from the toolbar. To resolve such issues, refresh the entire browser (Ctrl+R, or F5,
or re-size the window).
Linux / Windows Browser
When trying to display a Linux application server with a Windows client browser, you may see an
error message. To fix this, put
java.awt.headless = true into owareapps/
installprops/lib/installed.properties
and restart application server.
Online Help for Web Client
Online help does not work with the web client. On the other hand, the Acrobat version of the User
Guide
is the source of online help, and could offer the same kind of information if copied to the
computer where the web client runs. You must have Acrobat installed on that client, but can refer
to the
User Guide ’s version of online help there.
Secure Web Client Connections
Web client connections enable HTTP and HTTPS by default on their respective ports. To make
your client connection completely secure, you can disable HTTP and use HTTPS on port 443 in
Windows, or 8443 in Linux (rather than HTTP on 80—the unwritten default).
For a connection that is exclusively secure (HTTPS only, HTTP disabled), you must add a property
to
owareapps/installprops/lib/installed.properties with a text editor. Here is
that property:
appserver.web.enable.https=true
