Installing CimTrak App Server – Web Management Console

The CimTrak App Server is a host for web-based applications which allow Administrators the capability to manage and configure the application from a separate Administrator management workstation from virtually anywhere. Of the applications for the App Server, the Web Management Console acts as a web-based version of the classical Management Console which supports all of the features of the classical Management Console. The Web Management Console supports the selection of files and configurations on attached components to “lock” and configure an action to take in the event a change is detected. The Web Management Console provides access to a series of reports that detail changes made based on a series of saved baselines stored in the Master Repository. This capability can be used to superimpose changes over the stored baselines to immediately identify what aspects of the “locked” file were changed
