This section describes using the web-based POP and IMAP mailbox servers configuration utility, which may be used to configure mailbox servers for either a PMDF-MTA or PMDF-ACCESS system. The web-based configuration utility may be used to generate an initial mailbox servers configuration, or may be used to generate a new mailbox servers configuration of an existing PMDF installation.
Using Netscape (version 3.0 or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or later), with JavaScript enabled, connect to
http://localhost:7633/where
localhost is the TCP/IP name of your PMDF
system---you should see a page such as shown in Figure 6-3 -- and
then select the "Configuration" link; you will be prompted to
authenticate yourself and must do so as Administrator; at
this point you should see a page such as shown in Figure 6-4 .
If your last use of the web-based PMDF configuration utility was to configure PMDF-MTA and your PMDF-MTA configuration has not been manually modified since then, you can "Load" your prior PMDF-MTA configuration session before beginning your mailbox servers configuration; or if you wish to redo your PMDF-MTA configuration, you may start by doing so now; either will minimize the number of checklist tasks you will later need to perform. Otherwise, you may configure just the mailbox servers during this configuration sessions (and then perform checklist tasks to integrate your mailbox server configuration into your main PMDF-MTA configuration).
Click on the "Configure" button for IMAP/POP Servers to begin the configuration.
Refer to Chapter 6 , specifically to Figures 6-9 through Figure 6-16 , for a sample configuration session.
