Managing the OfficeScan Server
8-23
OfficeScan Web Server Information
During OfficeScan server installation, Setup automatically sets up a Web server (IIS or
Apache Web server) that enables networked computers to connect to the OfficeScan
server. Configure the Web server to which networked computer clients will connect.
If you modify the Web server settings externally (for example, from the IIS management
console), replicate the changes in OfficeScan to ensure it maintains server-client
communication and to allow access to the Web console. For example, if you change the
IP address of the server for networked computers manually or if you assign a dynamic
IP address to it, you need to reconfigure the server settings of OfficeScan.
To configure connection settings:
PATH: ADMINISTRATION > CONNECTION SETTINGS
1. Type the domain name/IP address and port number of the Web server.
Note: The port number is the trusted port that the OfficeScan server uses to
communicate with OfficeScan clients.
2. Click Save.
Web Console Password
The screen for managing the Web console password (or the password for the root
account created during OfficeScan server installation) will only be accessible if the
server computer does not have the resources required to use role-based administration.
For example, if the server computer runs Windows 2000 and Authorization Manager
Runtime is not installed, the screen is accessible. If resources are adequate, this screen
does not display and the password can be managed by modifying the root account in the
User Accounts screen.
If you forget the console password and the OfficeScan server is registered to Control
Manager, log on to the Control Manager console using the root account and then
change the password. You can also change the password if you have a Control Manager
account that has access to the OfficeScan server.
If OfficeScan is not registered to Control Manager, contact your support provider for
instructions on how to gain access to the Web console.
