Concentrator
Manager (Web Interface)
The VPN 3000 Concentrator Manager (Manager) is an HTML-based
interface application that makes configuring, administering, monitoring, and
managing the VPN 3000 device possible with a web browser on a PC in the private
network.
By default, the Manager uses HTTP, which is convenient, but
messages are transmitted in Cleartext. If security requires it, the Manager
supports secure, encrypted HTTP connection over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol, known as HTTPS.
Browser Requirements
The Manager application supports either Microsoft Internet
Explorer (IE) version 4.0 or higher or Netscape Navigator version 4.5–4.7. For
the best results, Cisco recommends Internet Explorer. JavaScript and Cookies
need to be enabled in the browser. Another recommendation is to install any
updates and patches.
Recommended Display Settings
Cisco recommends the following monitor display settings for
the best viewing:
Browser Navigation Toolbar
Earlier implementations of the Manager were the CLI
converted simply to a web interface. Each new version includes better Windows
function integration. In particular, Help, a Java-based applet, is getting
friendlier and more useful.
Cisco doesn’t recommend using the browser navigation toolbar
buttons Back, Forward, or Refresh/Reload with the Manager, unless you’re
specifically instructed to do so. To maintain access security, clicking the
Refresh/Reload button automatically logs out the Manager session and returns to
the login screen. Using the Back or Forward buttons could possibly display old
Manager displays with incorrect data or settings. If you’re concerned, the IE
View | Full screen (F11) feature will eliminate the temptation.
