iManager should come up automatically when the server loads, but it is possible that they have removed the loading of it from the autoexec.ncf.

It is an apache/tomcat thing.  The management portal is loaded separately in its own mini web server.

Autoexec.ncf should have the following sequence in it:

SEARCH ADD SYS:\JAVA\BIN
(before the set of statements that start with; Network driver LOADs and BINDs are initiated via
...
and end with: MOUNT ALL)

(These do other things too...)
SYS:\SYSTEM\NMA\NMA5.NCF
BSTART.NCF
load nile.nlm
load httpstk.nlm /SSL /keyfile:"SSL CertificateIP"
LOAD PORTAL.NLM
LOAD NDSIMON.NLM
LOAD NICISDI.XLM
LOAD SASDFM.XLM
LOAD SAS.NLM
LOAD PKI.NLM

...

SEARCH ADD SYS:\TOMCAT\33\BIN
TOMCAT33

...

#Apache is now the NetWare Web Manager server
SEARCH ADD SYS:\APACHE
NVXADMUP

To get to iManager, you use a browser.  At this time, IE6 still works best.

In the address bar, type "https://.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2200/eMFrame/webacc?"  where the xxx.xxx stuff is the IP address of the server - and don't type the quotes.  You should be issued an SSL certificate, which you should accept.  You will then get a login screen.  In this login screen, the context is entered separately from the user ID, so don't put .ADMIN.ORG in the user ID field, just ADMIN.  

Ewps, I put a leading dot in the IP address.  It should be https://xxx.xxx.xxx ...
Note:  The AUTOEXEC.NCF info is for a NetWare 6.0 box.  NetWare 6.5 uses Apache 2 and Tomcat 4.

You'd probably be surprised that NWAdmin32.exe can still deal with NetWare licensing... so what if iManager is broken?  You still have NWAdmin32.exe
'cause this is a remote branch site that normally would be managed across a 56K frame link, which NWAdmn32 doesn't work all that great across, hence they want to make sure it's working for future endeavors, from what I can tell.
