Site protection System Menu

Vectorworks Site Protection

Open Web Interface

Launches the Main server administration screen browser interface (Windows users can also double-click on the System Menu icon).

Set Up Web Access Account

Access to the browser interface is controlled by setting up an account with a password; the password is required. This command opens the Set Up Web Account dialog box, to create or enter a login name. 

You must log in to be able to access functions through the browser, such as license administration. If the RLM server does not detect a password, or finds that the default password is admin or blank, it will shut down.

After entering a login, the browser interface opens. If you have not previously accessed it, you may need to log in again on the left side of the interface. Leave the password blank initially, and then click on the Change Password pane to set up your password.

Passwords are also required for users who access the server; see Required server passwords.
