Step 2. Using the Administrative Console

Reflection for the Web is accessed through Management and Security Server's Administrative Console. The Administrative Console is a centralized site that contains administrative tools and is the interface for the Administrative Server. From this central location, you can create, secure, deploy, and monitor terminal emulation sessions.

Open the Administrative Console

The Administrative Console is password-protected to allow for remote administration and access by multiple administrators. If you clicked the Server URL after Management and Security Server was installed, the Administrative Console is already open.

On Windows, open the Administrative Console from Start > Micro Focus Host Access Management and Security Server > Administrative Server (HTML) or Administrative Server.

Note: The Start menu does not display Reflection for the Web.

  • Administrative Server (HTML login) directly opens the Administrative Console after you log in.

  • Administrative Server opens your list of links after you log in. Click Administrative Console in the bottom right.

The Administrative Console opens to the Manage Sessions panel.

Navigating the Administrative Console

Management and Security Server 12.4 SP1 (12.4.10), which is required with Reflection for the Web 12.3 SP1, introduces the Administrative Console, which replaces the Administrative WebStation as the management interface.

If you are upgrading, you will notice these navigation changes when creating, managing, and securing sessions.

  • Manage Sessions replaces Session Manager

  • Manage Packages replaces Package Manager

  • Assign Access replaces Access Mapper

  • Configure Settings replaces Settings and Security Setup

  • Run Reports replaces Reports
