Before you begin
The first time you access the Help Administration page, you
must access it locally from the server that the help is running on.
If you are not able to log on to the server locally, you can change
the settings to remote by editing the
config.ini file
for the application server.
To change the help server settings to
remote by editing the
config.ini file:
- Stop the application server.
- Open the <application_server_installation>/<web_application_directory>/help/WEB-INF/configuration/config.ini file.
- Add the following lines to the config.ini:
help.type.default=remote
help.war.security=remote
- Clear the cache on the web server.
- Restart the application server.
Procedure
- In a browser, open the Help Administration
page by typing a URL that is in this format: http://server:port/help-name/updater/admin.jsp
Important: If you are completing this task for the
first time, you must log into the help server and access the local
server Help Administration page in a browser. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/help-name/updater/admin.jsp If
you have already been added as a user with role based security, you
can access the Help Administration page through a browser remotely
without logging into the help server. Example: http://server.ibm.com:8080/help-name/updater/admin.jsp
