On-going Administration using the server-manager

The server-manager is your SME Server control panel for administrative tasks. The server-manager can be accessed via a web browser from any client connected to the same local network using a variety of URL formats:

• https://www.yourdomain.xxx/server-manager
• https://ip-of-your-server/server-manager
• https://name-of-your-server/server-manager

If you had chosen the server name "nemo" and ip-adress 192.168.1.99 during initial configuration you gain access with---https://192.168.1.99/server-manager or https://nemo/server-manager. ---

	Note:
	For security reasons, you are only able to access the server-manager through a web browser on the local network. Remote access is only possible using remote access tools such as ssh and PPTP or by allowing access to IP ranges set in Security > Remote Access

When you arrive at the correct URL, you'll be asked to enter your user name (which is always "admin") and the password you created during the installation process. Enter that information and click "OK" to be taken to the server-manager. It will look like the screen shown above. In the next five chapters, we'll explain each of the administrative functions. The links are grouped together under four headings: Collaboration, Administration, Security, Configuration and Miscellaneous.
