About the System Management Hub

The System Management Hub is a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) you can use to perform administrative tasks for Entire Net-Work and the Software AG Directory Server.

Before you start using the System Management Hub, you must set up an administrative user for the product. To do so, consult the Add Administrator section of the System Management Hub documentation. The System Management Hub (SMH) is the standard, GUI-based, central point of administration for Software AG's products. It runs in a standard Web browser. Please refer to the System Management Hub documentation for further information.

This document provides an overview of the System Management Hub and describes its interface elements as they pertain to Entire Net-Work and Software AG Directory Server administration tasks. It covers the following topics:


Accessing the System Management Hub

  1. Type the following URL into your Web browser:

    http://smh-mil-node:smh-mil-http-port/smh/login.htm
