Approaches to RaQ XTR
administration
As the RaQ XTR Administrator, you can decide how many of the server
functions he or she wants to manage directly and how much to delegate.
• Full control . If you want to control all the functions on the RaQ XTR, you
can create virtual sites without assigning any virtual Site Administrators. You
are responsible for managing the main site and all the virtual sites. (See
“Definition of a virtual site” on page 113.)
• Hybrid control . If you want to control some of the RaQ XTR functions and
delegate others, you can assign some of the virtual sites to virtual Site
Administrators (for the sites that have a user capable of acting as a Site
Administrator), and retain control of other virtual sites. You are responsible
for managing only the sites that do not have a Site Administrator.
• Distributed control . If you want to delegate responsibility for all the virtual
sites, you can create Site Administrators for all the virtual sites. In this case,
you are responsible for managing only server settings and virtual site
services. The Site Administrators are responsible for managing the virtual
sites.
You manage the RaQ XTR using through a Web browser. Access the Server
Management screen by typing either http://<IP address> /admin/ or
http://<hostname.domainname> /admin/ into your browser. These Web pages are
password-protected—you must enter your RaQ XTR Administrator password.
When you log in to the RaQ XTR with the user name admin or alteradmin , the
Server Desktop with four tabs appears (see Figure 54). This screen is used for
the RaQ XTR management tasks that are performed only by the RaQ XTR
Administrator ( admin ) or the alternate administrator ( alteradmin ).
1. Setting up and maintaining the RaQ XTR.
2. Creating virtual sites.
3. Creating access privileges and providing services for the Site Administrators
and site users.
The RaQ XTR Administrator functions are described in the sections that follow.
