Management server / Management clients. I'm confused

[w***@gmail.com]

I'm a bit confused here. I installed the management server on my
firewall machine because I assumed that I would be able to easily use a
management client such as the policy editor to log on to my firewall
and do the modifications. Yet for some reason I am unable to
authenticate when using the policy editor client to log on to my
firewall.

Am I supposed to install the management server on the machine from
which I intend to modify the policies, config, etc. of my firewall?
Shouldn't I be able to just do it with the client software?

Which platform are you using (Nokia, Secure platform, solaris?)

You need to define your username and your ip address as a GUI client.

If you need more info, let me know.

Also with version are you using (NG, NG AI, NGX)

Hi,

I'm using the Nokia IP platform. How do I define my username and ip
address as a GUI client? Will I need to create a firewall rule?

Thanks.

From a command prompt (ssh or console), run cpconfig and you can set up
your account and IP address.
