Accessing the Admin Tool when Web Root is Enabled
By default, when you connect to a SnapServer with web root enabled, the browser
will load the user-defined HTML page or present a directory listing of the Web
Root. To access the Administation Tool (e.g., to perform administrative functions,
change a password, etc.), enter the following in the browser address field:
http://[servername or ip address]/config
You will be prompted for your User ID and password, then you will be placed into
the GuardianOS UI.
If you need to access the Web View page to browse shares on the server
independent of Web Root, enter this in the browser address:
http://[servername or ip address]/sadmin/GetWebHome.event
Web View
Web View opens when the user accesses a SnapServer using a Web browser, unless
the administrator has enabled the Web Root feature (see “Using WebRoot to
Configure the SnapServer as a Simple Web Server” on page 37). This screen
displays a list of all shares to which the user has access. Users can navigate the share
structure to locate and view or download files, but they cannot modify or upload
files.
For users with admin rights, a key icon appears next to the file/folder in the
share. Clicking this icon displays a popup box with security information about the
file/folder.
From this screen, the user can also change a password, switch to another user, or log
in to perform Administrative functions (if the user has Administrator permissions).
To Switch to a Different User
Users can switch to a different username from the opening Web View screen by
clicking the
Switch Users link and entering the new username and password.
To Change a User Password
Users can change their passwords from the opening Web View screen by clicking
the
Change Password link, and then completing the username, old password, and
new password information.
