22 Using Server Administrator
Method 2
Open your Web browser and type one of the following in the address field and
press <Enter>:
https://hostname:1311
where hostname is the assigned name for the managed node system and
1311 is the default port number
or
https://IP address:1311
where IP address is the IP address for the managed system and 1311 is
the default port number
You should type https:// (and not http://) in the address field to
receive a valid response in your browser.
NOTE: You must have preassigned user rights to log in to Server Administrator.
See "Setup and Administration" for instructions on setting up new users.
Using the Ignore Certificate Option
The login screen has an "Ignore certificate warnings check box".
CAUTION: You should use the "Ignore certificate warnings" option with
discretion. It is highly recommended that you use it only in trusted Intranet
environments.
To ensure system security, Dell strongly recommends that you import a root
certificate or certificate chain from a Certification Authority (CA). See the
VMware documentation for details.
NOTE: If the certificate authority on the managed system is valid and if the Server
Administrator web server still reports an untrusted certificate error, you can still
make the managed system’s CA as trusted by using the certutil.exe. Refer to your
operating system documentation for details on accessing this .exe. On supported
Windows operating systems, you can also use the certificates snap in option to
import certificates.
