Web-based System Manager Administration Guide

PC Client Mode

PC Client Mode allows the user to run the Web-based System Manager console on a Windows PC and manage remote AIX computers. This method is similar to using Web-based System Manager in client-server mode when using the -host argument. There are several ways to start PC Client on the Windows platform:

As with client-server mode, the systems listed in the Management Environment area are managed machines. However, PC Client differs from client-server mode in that the Windows system running PC Client is the managing machine and does not show up in the Management Environment area.

Security issues are identical to those found in client-server mode with regard to loading classes, as opposed to the limitations found in Applet mode, where it is only possible to manage a set of machines that have the same version of Web-based System Manager installed. For more information on security issues, see Chapter 5, Web-based System Manager Security.

For more information, see Client-Server Mode and Applet Mode.
