Architectural Overview
The main ShoreWare server hosts the web site for ShoreWare Director using Microsoft
Internet Information Server. When you launch a web browser and navigate to the
ShoreWare Director web site, the server provides HTML web pages from which you can
add to, delete from, and edit the configuration of the system (see Figure 1-1). When
you click Save, your change is sent to the server and saved in the ShoreTel database. All
other system components are automatically and immediately notified and updated.
In addition to the configuration pages, ShoreWare Director has a maintenance interface
for the ShoreTel 7.5 system. When you navigate to a maintenance page in ShoreWare
Director, system status is displayed, and you can issue maintenance commands. The
commands are passed to and executed by the server. If you have distributed ShoreWare
application servers, you can navigate from the main server to each distributed server
through ShoreWare Director to view status and issue commands to the distributed
server.
NOTE ShoreWare Director is supported only by Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and
later versions. If you are running ShoreWare Director from Windows XP (SP2),
the Director site (i.e. URL) must be added to Internet Explorer’s list of “trusted
sites.”
Multi-level Management
The ShoreTel 7.5 system provides in-depth access levels to ShoreWare Director. System
parameters for administrative permissions allow many administrative roles to be
defined so as to provide only as much access to the system as each user requires. By
default, the initial system administrator has access to everything on the system.
However, by using the administrative permissions pages, you can define site
administrators, directory list managers, read-only users, and more. Each user who
needs to access Director can be assigned a level of permission tailored for his needs.
