Administration Server

Virtual Server Configuration

Virtual servers allow you, with a single installed server, to offer companies or
individuals domain names, IP addresses, and some server administration
capabilities. You can configure virtual servers using the Virtual tab of the Server
Manager, as well as the Class Manager interface and the
settings for virtual servers are stored in the
server_root/https-server_id/
For more information, see Chapter 11, "Using Virtual Servers."

Multiple-Server Configuration

You can have multiple web servers running on the same server machine. Multiple
web servers can be configured from a single-server administration interface called
the Administration Server.
Administration Server
The Administration Server is a web-based server that contains the Java forms you
use to configure all of your Enterprise Servers.
After installing Enterprise Server, you use your browser to navigate to the
Administration Server page and use its forms to configure your Enterprise Servers.
When you submit the forms, the Administration Server modifies the configuration
for the server you were administering.
The URL you use to navigate to the Administration Server page depends on the
computer host name and the port number you choose for the Administration
Server when you install Enterprise Server. For example, if you installed the
Administration Server on port 1234, the URL would look like this:
http://myserver.example.com:1234
Before you can get to any forms, the Administration Server prompts you to
authenticate yourself. This means you need to type a user name and password.
You set up the "superuser" user name and password when you install Enterprise
Server on your computer. After installation, you can use distributed administration
to give multiple people access to different forms in the Administration Server. For
more information about distributed administration, see "Allowing Multiple
Administrators," on page 52 in Chapter 3, "Setting Administration Preferences."
