Open the NNMi Console

Provide each user with the following information:

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/

Note If the NNMi Web server uses the https protocol, use https instead of http.

<serverName> = the fully-qualified domain name of the NNMi management server (values allowed here are determined by the Enable URL Redirect setting in User Interface Configuration, see Configure the NNMi User Interface)

<portNumber> = the NNMi HTTP port number

When your NNMi management server has more than one fully-qualified domain name, NNMi chooses one during the installation process. There are two ways to find out which domain name NNMi is using in your network environment:

  • Click HelpSystem Information and navigate to the Server tab. Locate the Official Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) attribute value.
  • Use the nnmofficialfqdn.ovpl command. See the nnmofficialfqdn.ovpl Reference Page.

To determine the current port number configuration, look at the following lines in the nms-local.properties file (see the following table for the location of this file):

  • For http, see nmsas.server.port.web.http
  • For https, see nmsas.server.port.web.https

See the nnm.ports Reference Page and Manage environment variables for more information.
