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 (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.
