Logging Into the Web Manager for Regular Users
Both authorized users and MergePoint 5224/5240 appliance administrators can access the Web 
Manager from a browser using HTTP or HTTPS over the Internet or through a dial-in or callback 
PPP connection. 
After being authenticated during login, authorized users can use the Web Manager to log into target 
devices, manage power and change their own passwords, but they cannot use the Web Manager for 
configuring users or target devices. Any number of regular users can connect to the Web Manager 
at the same time.
MergePoint 5224/5240 appliance administrators can perform additional user and target device 
configuration tasks through the Web Manager. See the MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor 
Manager Installer and Administrator Guide for details.
Figure 3.1 shows the login screen for the Web Manager that appears when the MergePoint 5224/
5240 appliance IP address is entered in a Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.
