Web-based System Manager Administration Guide

Status Bar

The status bar displays at the lower edge of a console window. It has five fields for displaying status information, as follows:

• A padlock icon indicates whether the console is running in secure mode. In secure mode, communications between the client platform that is running the console, and the managed computer, is encrypted using SSL. The padlock icon is closed in secure mode and open when secure communications is not active.
• Plug-in loading status. When a plug-in is loaded, the text Ready is present. When a plug-in is in the process of loading, a graphic bounce bar displays.
• Number of objects that are visible in the contents area. Objects can be present on the managed host but hidden from the view by the view filter.
• Number of objects selected in the contents area.
• Security context (user name and host name) that the administrator is in for the currently active plug-in.

The status bar can be hidden or shown by unchecking or checking the Status Bar option in the Show submenu under View.
