VA7100 - Running launcher from IE on my PC

[Tim Killinger]

Hello,

- running SDM v1.5 on HPUX 11.0
- added my pc IP address to access.dat
- restarted daemons
- checked PanConfigParams.txt - OK
- from IE 6.0 entered: http://myhost:4096/Launcher.html

I'm getting HTTP error 403 "Not authorized to view this page"

I've searched ITRC and can't find any history on this - canu you help?

Tim,
make sure you have JRE (java runtime environment) installed on the client PC. Try with '*.*.*.*' in access.dat. Try
http://myhost:4096/cmdviewVA.html?myhost:VAname
Try clearing IE cache, files and history, setting it to get pages 'every visit to the page'.

It works now, Eugeny!

I believe it must have been adding *.*.*.* to access.dat.... but... it looks like I have a security issue now, don't I? Any PC could potentially access the VA7100....?

Correct. Everybody who can log into network will have access to Launcher. Now you can track down when it stop working adding IP address bytes one by one:
IP=123.45.67.89 (just example)
1) 123.*.*.*
2) 123.45.*.*
3) 123.45.67.*
Check windows machine actual IP address issuing 'ipconfig'
