Configuration of WinAdmin and WebAdmin

A configuration database is set up when WinAdmin and WebAdmin are started for the first time. The administration data of the UTM applications to be administered using WinAdmin or WebAdmin must be stored in this database to begin with. You use this data to specify the following on the WinAdmin and WebAdmin side:

• what the application is called

• the system on which the application runs

• the properties of the connection

• the users who can administer this application

This data is assigned to the WinAdmin or WebAdmin objects „Hosts”, „UTM Applications”, „UPIC Connections” and „WinAdmin Users“ or „WebAdmin Users”.

You can also define collections. A collection contains one or more UTM applications. By default, the collection <All UTM Applications> is set up.

When changing the WinAdmin or WebAdmin version, you can import the data of the previous version.

Configuration of WinAdmin and WebAdmin objects

The following table lists WinAdmin’s and WebAdmin‘s objects that have to be defined.

Object	Description and properties
Hosts	This object describes in WinAdmin or WebAdmin the system on which the UTM application runs (application host).
UTM Applications	This object describes the UTM application to be administered.
UPIC Connections	You use this object to define the connection from WinAdmin or WebAdmin to the application.
WinAdmin / WebAdmin Users	After installation, only the WinAdmin/WebAdmin user ID “Master” is authorized to do everything. It is advisable to define further user IDs with restricted authorizations.
Collections	This object combines UTM applications to form a collection.

For details, see the description of WinAdmin and/or WebAdmin.

Working with collections

A WinAdmin/WebAdmin user can combine multiple applications to form a collection in order to simplify their administration.

Using WinAdmin, it is even possible to administer objects from different applications in an open collection together, i.e. in a single step.

Checking availability

When you have performed the necessary configuration steps in UTM and WinAdmin/WebAdmin, you can check that the UTM application is accessible.

If the application is available, you can view its objects. These are displayed graphically in the WinAdmin/WebAdmin user interface in a tree structure or as a table.
