Remote Print Administrator

RPA Requirements

• RPA is configured as an ISAPI (Internet Server API) extension dll for use with Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft's standard web server.
• RPA runs on IIS 4 and IIS 5. IIS must be installed prior to RPM on the PC. RPM requires Windows NT service pack 5 and Internet Explorer 5.01 SP2 or later on Win NT.
• Clients can connect to and manage RPM by typing http://www.yourwebsite.com/rpm into their browser's Address field.
• Authentication and security is handled by Windows and IIS.
• Each client must have appropriate security permissions to administer RPM remotely.
• Internet Explorer 4.0 or later is required and allow downloading of signed Active X controls.

Configuring RPA using IIS Administrator

Access to individual users and groups, as well as anonymous access such as from outside your internal network can be allowed or denied using the Internet Information Services snap-in. This is found in Computer Management in the Control Panel or Administrative Tools in Windows 2000, XP, or 2003.

To access the RPM web site properties, highlight RPM. Then from the Action menu, choose Properties. This dialog is a tabbed dialog allowing you to adjust security and other properties on the RPM web site. Pressing OK will close the dialog saving the changes.
