UI Setup
| UI Port |
Specifies the port on which browsers can connect to the Content Gateway manager. The default port is 8081. If you change this setting, you must restart Content Gateway. |
| HTTPS: Enable/Disable |
Enables or disables support for SSL connections to the Content Gateway manager (enabled by default). SSL provides protection for remote administrative monitoring and configuration. To use SSL for Content Gateway manager connections, you must install an SSL certificate on the Content Gateway server machine. For more information, see Using SSL for secure administration. |
| HTTPS: Certificate File | Specifies the name of the SSL certificate file used to authenticate users who want to access the Content Gateway manager. |
| Monitor Refresh Rate | Specifies how often Content Gateway manager refreshes the statistics on the Monitor pane. The default value is 30 seconds. |
| Default Help Language | Specifies the language that Content Gateway Manager Help displays by default. If a page is not available in the default language, another language may be substituted. |
| Administrator: Login |
Specifies the administrator login. The default is ‘admin’. The administrator login is the master login that has access to both Configure and Monitor mode in the Content Gateway manager. |
| Administrator: Password |
Lets you change the administrator password that controls access to the Content Gateway manager. Enter the current password in the Old Password field. Enter the new password in the New Password field, re- enter it in the New Password (Retype) field, and then click Apply. Passwords must be 8 to 15 characters and include at least one:

The installer automatically encrypts the password and stores the encryptions in the records.config file so that no one can read them. Each time you change the password in the Content Gateway manager, Content Gateway updates the records.config file. If you forget the administrator password and cannot access the Content Gateway manager, see Accessing the Content Gateway manager if you forget the master administrator password. |
| Additional Users |
Lists the current user accounts and lets you add new user accounts. User accounts determine who has access the Content Gateway manager and which activities they can perform. You can create a list of user accounts if a single administrator login and password is not sufficient security for your needs. To create a new account, enter the user login in the New User field, and then enter the user password in the New Password field. Retype the user password in the New Password (Retype) field, and then click Apply. Passwords must be 8 to 15 characters and include at least one:
Supported characters include: ! # % & ' ( ) * + , - . / ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ _ { | } ~ The following special characters are not supported: Space $ : ` \ " Information for the new user is displayed in the table. From the Access drop-down list in the table, select the activities that the new user can perform (Monitor, Monitor and View Configuration, or Monitor and Modify Configuration). For more information about user accounts, see Creating a list of user accounts. |
