Remote administration commands

The following tables list the possible remote administration commands on the individual openFT platforms and on the remote administration server. The Permission column shows the permission required to execute the command as a remote administration command. The following permissions are possible:

FTOP	Read FT access (FT operator)
FT	Read and modify FT access (FT administrator)
FTAC	Read and modify FTAC access (FTAC administrator)

If a number of permissions are specified, e.g. FT | FTAC, it is sufficient if one of these permissions applies, i.e. FT or FTAC.

In the case of a remote administration request, these permissions are compared with the permissions you have on the relevant instance as a remote administrator. The ADM administrator defines the permissions in the configuration data of the remote administration server.

If your permissions are insufficient to execute the remote administration command on a particular instance, the request is rejected, e.g. with:

ftadm: Administration request rejected by remote administration server

In this event, an ADM log record is written on the remote administration server with a reason code not equal to 0000. The reason code specifies the exact reason for rejection (fthelp reason-code).

Commands on the remote administration server

ftadm allows you to execute the commands ftshwc and ftshwatp on the remote administration server. When you do so, you must not specify the -ri option:

Command	Comment	Permission
ftshwc	Gets the instances that the remote administrator is permitted to administer.	FT | FTOP | FTAC(I.e. all instances are displayed for which the remote administrator has one of these permissions.)
ftshwatp	Outputs the ADM traps of the openFT instances that can be administered.	FT | FTOP(I.e. ADM traps of all instances are displayed for which the remote administrator has one of these permissions.)
