Administering the Web GUI server

Perform these tasks to administer the Web GUI server.

Restarting the server
After customization and configuration activities you might need to restart the Web GUI server.
Viewing the application server profile
Open the application server profile to review the port number assignments and other information. The profile of the application server is available as a text file on the computer where it is installed.
Changing the timeout setting
You can change the period of time after which users are automatically logged out of the Web GUI. The default timeout period is 30 minutes. In a load balancing cluster, carry out this task on all nodes.
Defining an ObjectServer as a user repository
To add an ObjectServer to the realm as a user repository use the confvmm4ncos script that reconfigures the Virtual Member Manager (VMM) component.
Changing the password for the connection to the ObjectServer
If the password of the user that authenticates the connection between the ObjectServer and the Web GUI is changed, update the password on the Web GUI server.
Administering timed tasks
Timed tasks are the key part to a Web GUI server automatically loading changes in configuration data, without the need to restart the server. You manage timed tasks through properties in the Web GUI initialization file (server.init).
Querying the event database
You can run the full range of ObjectServer SQL commands and perform queries against ObjectServer data.
Copying data between Web GUI servers
The Web GUI has a utility to copy selected data from one server to another.
Backing up and restoring the WebGUI server
To prevent the loss of information in the event of a disaster, and for disaster recovery, back up your installation of the Web GUI and the Dashboard Application Services Hub.
