3.5  Verifying the Linux Access Gateway 

Installation on RHEL

1

From a client machine external to your Administration Console server, launch your preferred 
browser and enter the URL for the Administration Console.
Use the IP address established when you installed the Administration Console. It should 
include the port 8080 and the application nps. If the IP address of your Administration Console 
is 10.10.10.50, you would enter the following:
http://10.10.10.50:8080/nps

Click 

OK

 to accept the certificate. You can select either the permanent session or the temporary 

session certificate option.

3

On the Login screen, specify the administrator name and password that you defined during the 
Administration Console installation.

. 

If the installation was successful, the IP address of your Access Gateway appears in the Server 
list. 

The Health status indicates the health state after the Access Gateway was imported and 
registered with the Administration Console. The health status should appear as green if you 
successfully completed the steps in 

Section 3.4, “Configuring Hardware and System Services,” 

on page 27

.  

If an Access Gateway started to import into the Administration Console, but failed to complete 
the process, the following message appears:

Server gateway-<name> is currently importing. If it has been several 
minutes after installation, click repair import to fix it.

5

(Conditional) If you have waited at least ten minutes, but the message doesn’t disappear and the 
Access Gateway doesn’t appear in the list, click the 

repair import

 link.

For additional help, see  “Appendix, A.3 Troubleshooting the Access Gateway Import” in the
