This section is intended for all remote administrators for whom specific permissions for remote administration have been specified in the configuration of the remote administration server.
Remote administrators can perform remote administration using commands (see below) or using the openFT Explorer (see section “Remote administration using the openFT Explorer”).
You can issue the requests on the remote administration server itself or on a remote computer:
If you issue requests on the remote administration server, you must log in under the user ID that the ADM administrator has entered in the configuration data to authenticate yourself as a remote administrator.
If you log in on the remote administration server under a user ID that is not entered in the configuration data, you can only address the remote administration server using the FTADM protocol. This is the same as if you issue the request on a remote computer. See the next section.
If you issue requests on a remote computer, you require the following data that the ADM administrator must provide you with:
address of the remote administration server
FTAC transfer admission for accessing the remote administration server
The address of the remote administration server must always be specified with the protocol prefix ftadm: //, e.g. ftadm: //server01. It is therefore always best to let the FT administrator enter the remote administration server in the partner list.
You are, however, always able to determine the names of the openFT instances that you are permitted to administer yourself. See the section “Remote administration using the command interface”.
