View Administrator and View Connection Server
View Administrator provides a management interface for View.
Depending on your View deployment, you use one or more View Administrator interfaces.
n
Use one View Administrator interface to manage the View components that are associated with a
single, standalone View Connection Server instance or a group of replicated View Connection Server
instances.
You can use the host name or IP address of any replicated instance to log in to View Administrator.
n
You must use a separate View Administrator interface to manage the View components for each single,
standalone View Connection Server instance and each group of replicated View Connection Server
instances.
You also use View Administrator to manage security servers associated with View Connection Server. Each
security server is associated with one View Connection Server instance.
NOTE If you use Access Point appliances rather than security servers, you must use the Access Point REST
API to manage the Access Point appliances. For more information, see Deploying and Configuring Access
Point.
