Invoking the Administration Server

You can invoke the Administration Server from a Web client by specifying a URL

consisting of the host name and port number, as specified in the installation procedure.

Configuring the Administration Server

You define the admin and admin httpd server classes in the file httpd.adm.config,

and the secure transport for administrative functions in the file

httpd.adm_stl.config. Sample configuration files are provided with the iTP

Secure WebServer and edited in the install.WS script.

If you run the install.WS script and an httpd.adm.config file is already present on the

system, the script prompts you, asking whether to replace the existing script.

Defining the admin Server Class

The admin server class has the object-code file name admin.pway and must consist of

exactly one static server process. (This restriction ensures that only one user at a time

can modify the configuration files.) If you choose to modify the sample configuration,

follow these guidelines:

For information about the syntax and semantics of configuration directives, see

Appendix A, Configuration Directives.

Defining the admin httpd Server Class

The admin httpd server class has the object-code file name $root/bin/httpd. You

can define multiple static processes to accommodate the workload you expect, and

additional dynamic processes to handle peak workload. If you choose to modify the

sample configuration, follow these guidelines:
