Configure Web Proxy Users

Configure Users for Remote Management Service

The Remote Management component of remote proxy services enables you to set permissions for remote users. The permissions define which administrative interfaces the users may access for each application.

For example, to grant access to the administrative interface of the MiVoice Business, add a new user and select the "MiVoice Business Management - Administration" permission. When the user attempts to access the Embedded System Management (ESM) tool on the MiVoice Business, she will be prompted to enter her Remote Management username and password in a web-based dialog. MBG will then forward her to the MiVoice Business interface, where she will be prompted to enter her ESM administrator username and password.
