Configuring the remote administration server

The remote administration server must be configured in a number of steps. Some of these steps can only be performed by the ADM administrator, who must have been defined beforehand.

Overview of the configuration steps

openFT as of V11.0 must be installed on your system if it is to be configured as a remote administration server. The description in the present subsection applies to openFT V12.1.

The following table indicates the steps required to create a configuration and who performs these steps.

Step	Who
1. Defining the ADM administrator	FTAC administrator
2. Declaring an openFT instance as a remote administration server	FT administrator
3. Setting up admission profiles for accessing the remote administration server	ADM administrator
4. Entering the openFT instances to be administered in the partnerlist	FT administrator
5. Creating a configuration file using a text or XML editor	ADM administrator
6. Importing the configuration	ADM administrator

The remote administration server is thus ready for operation. The ADM administrator can export and modify the current configuration at any time. See section “Exporting and modifying a configuration”.

It now remains to configure openFT instances on the partner systems for remote administration. See section “Configuring an openFT instance to be administered”.
