Accessing HTTPSTK When DS Is
1 4
Not Loaded
You can set up a preconfigured admin user that allows access to the HTTP Protocol Stack
(HTTPSTK) when DS is not loaded. The preconfigured admin user, SAdmin, has rights that are
equivalent to the eDirectory Admin User object. If the server is in a state where eDirectory is not
functioning correctly, you can log in to the server as this user and perform all the diagnostic and
debugging tasks necessary that do not require eDirectory.

address resolution, you can also enter the server's DNS name instead of the IP address.
