Alternative methods for accessing the Management Client

To avoid installing the full Java-based Management Client on each workstation that an administrator uses, you can run the Management Client in a web browser or configure Java Web Start.

• SMC Web Access — You can enable the feature on the Management Server or Web Portal Server. Administrators log on to the Management Client on a web page, and the Management Client runs as an HTML5 application in the web browser. The web browser is the only requirement on the workstation.
• Java Web Start — You can enable the feature on the Management Server or install a Java Web Start server on a separate web server or network drive. Administrators download and run the Management Client from a web page. The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed on each workstation.
