• Set up iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web: Prerequisites
  View this topic for more details on starting the Administration instance. The Administration instance of the HTTP Server must be running on your system in order to connect to the iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web interface.
• Configure security for iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web
  If you are accessing the iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web interface over an external network, such as the Internet, it is recommended that you connect using a secure HTTP connection. Additionally, if the server hosting the iSeries Navigator Tasks on the Web interface resides outside of a firewall, or if you are managing a secondary system outside of a firewall, it is recommended that you also configure the IBM^® Toolbox for Java™ to establish secure socket connections for data access.
• Configure Application Administration
  Use Application Administration to grant and limit user access to the iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web application, and control access to servers managed from the Web interface. By default, only users with All Object (ALLOBJ) system privilege can access the iSeries Navigator Tasks on the Web application or manage this iSeries through a Web task.
