Administration Console
Administration Guide 1-5
The value of hostname is the DNS name or IP address of the Administration Server
and
port is the address of the port on which the Administration Server is listening for
requests (7001 by default). If you started the Administration Server using Secure
Socket Layer (SSL), you must add
s after http as follows:
https://hostname:port/console
If you have your browser configured to send HTTP requests to a proxy server, then you
may need to configure your browser to not send Administration Server HTTP requests
to the proxy. If the Administration Server is on the same machine as the browser, then
ensure that requests sent to
localhost or 127.0.0.1 are not sent to the proxy.
The left pane in the Administration Console contains a hierarchical tree — the domain
tree — for navigating to tables of data, configuration pages and monitoring pages, or
accessing logs. By selecting (that is, left-clicking) an item in the domain tree, you can
display a table of data for resources of a particular type (such as WebLogic Servers) or
configuration and monitoring pages for a selected resource. The top-level nodes in the
domain tree are containers. If leaf nodes are present in those containers, you can click
on the plus sign at the left to expand the tree to access the leaf nodes.
The entity tables — tables of data about resources of a particular type — can be
customized by adding or subtracting columns that display values for attributes. You
can customize a table by following the
Customize this table link at the top of the
table. Each column in the table corresponds to an attribute that has been selected for
inclusion in the table.
When started, the Administration Console prompts for a password. The first time the
Administration Console is started, you can use the user name and password under
which the Administration Server was started. You can use the Administration Console
to add users to the Administrators group. Once users (or groups of users) have been
added to the Administrators group, these users can also perform administrative tasks
via the Administration Console. The default member of the Administrators group is
system.
Because an Administration Server can manage only one active domain, you can access
only one active domain at a time using the Administration Console. If you have
separate Administration Servers running, each with its own active domain, you can
switch from managing one domain to the other only by invoking the Administration
Console on the Administration Server that you want to access.
