6.2 Web-Based System Manager Architecture<br />

Web-Based System Manager enables a system administrator to manage an <strong>AIX</strong><br />

machine either locally from a graphics terminal or remotely from a PC or RS/6000<br />

client. Information is entered through the use of GUI components on the client<br />

side. The information is then sent over the network to the Web-Based System<br />

Manager server, which runs the commands necessary to perform the required<br />

action.<br />

Web-Based System Manager is implemented using the Java programming<br />

language. The implementation of Web-Based System Manager in Java provides:<br />

• Cross-platform portability. Any client platform with a Java 1.1-enabled Web<br />

browser is able to run a Web-Based System Manager client object.<br />

• Remote administration. A Web-Based System Manager client is able to<br />

administer an <strong>AIX</strong> machine remotely through the Internet.<br />

• A richer and more flexible GUI environment than is available with either HTML<br />

forms or Java Script.<br />
