Additional AdminServer considerations
The following information is relevant to AdminServer usage:
• Before you start a WebSpeed or AppServer application, you must start the
AdminServer.
• The AdminServer User-Group Authorization feature requires that you have
privileges set to allow you access and operational privileges for the AdminServer.
For details to implement this feature on UNIX systems, see the “How to implement
the User-Group Authorization feature” section on page 256. For details to
implement this feature in Windows, see the Windows online help topic
“Establishing AdminServer Authorization Options during the Installation.”
For other details about the AdminServer, Windows users should refer to the “Getting
started with the AdminServer” section on page 231 and UNIX users should refer to the
“Getting started with the AdminServer” section on page 255.
AdminServer-related authorization option
In Windows, you can optionally establish AdminServer authorization options for
OpenEdge products that support the AdminServer during the installation process.
These options are:
• User Authorization — Requires each individual user to provide a valid user name
and password before the AdminServer can be started.
• Group Authorization — Sets up user-defined group names for which operational
privileges, at a group level, are required. Group name definitions must conform to
specific guidelines.
For information about these options, see the Windows online help topics
“Establishing AdminServer Authorization Options during the Installation,” and
“User-defined Group Name Conventions and Restrictions.”
AdminServer Logging
There are logging entries that are specifically related to user authentication and
authorization.
