The AE Server CONFIG web page

Attention: This page can only be accessed from a browser on the Automation Engine server computer itself.

Concept

This web page serves to administer only very specific parts of the configuration.

Q: Why is this a separate tool than the other Server Admin web page?

  • A: The signing in to a server admin page requires you to have credentials that correspond to a Windows user on your AE server computer that has administrative rights. The main reason for this is that even when the AE server software is down, you still need to be able to administer some of that server software.

There are 2 ways to open the Server Config web page:

On the AE server computer,
  • either type this URL in the browser: http://localhost:9897/
  • or go to Start > (Programs) > Esko > Automation Engine Server Config (which also opens a browser tab to that page).
Note: When you open this page at a moment when there is no administrator account yet on that Automation Engine (typically right after a first installation), then the Get Started page is presented first. This page serves to create that initial administrator account.
