I have a severe web-sever user-access problems in version 4 that is reveling because I transformed the V3 sever for customer information into version 3.
I using fore trouble shooting / experimenting an G5 Imapper V4 and to inform other RIVM ict-departments an old Imac MacOS9 with lots of memory. Why did I used the old MacOS and version 3? For its stability and lack of time. Everybody can see the total view of al the devices that we monitoring was is up and down. Not everybody had access tot al the maps / devices, but V3 gave a good overview. Why did I have to the switch to version V4? Because at the office I use a G5 and v4 so to be more efficient I want tot use one version. The problems: ================================================================================ User interface: V3 when a user contacts the web-server, it start in a error-overview of all the devices. V4 starts with the alphabetical first map-jpg!! where the user has access rights. http://mapxx/document/_/!index.html. I am in need over a thin html-file that give a total overview. (V3) ================================================================================ Access control When I give a user (rivm) a class B access 131.224.*.* then it is difficult to access the server files that are restricted . The user have to know the exact name of de map and merge that in the URL !!! Example when I automatically log on to http://rivm-net51:8090/NAS-polling-5sec/document/_/maplist.html and then I what tot access map âxserversâ where I have a username and password access, I must replace the part in the URL âNAS-polling-5secâ with âxserversâ The method is not user friendly!!! =============================================================================== Lack of overview using web-access: V3 used the total devices error page a start outages would have a better choice. V4 give at first a alphabetic map jpg. As troubleshooter or our helpdesk there is a need for a light (html) web-window with give a overview of the present and former problems. ================================================================================ Bug in OS9 In V4 MacOS9 is a difference (bug) in displaying the full device-list in the full map-list, it will only give the full of de first map in the list!!! When I imported a V4 map form the MacX into the G3 the cisco core switches where in a stat of non polling!!! Where I changed that in polling the system rediscovered and the map was ruined . So I used a old V3 map. ================================================================================ Conclusion: It is a long story and I wished tot roll back to the V3 web-interface because it better served my purpose. ================================================================================ with regards Hans RIVM the Netherlands Used configurations Testing purposes / monitoring: G5 MacX 10.3.8 Imapper 4.2.4 Polling > 250 devices Information-server G3 MacOS9.04 Imapper 4.2.4 Polling > 250 devices ____________________________________________________________________________ "Dit bericht en eventuele aangehechte bestanden zijn vertrouwelijk en uitsluitend bestemd voor de geadresseerde.
