This page allows you to configure superuser access for the Administration Server. In this case, the superuser is the person who has access to change any/all parts of the server configuration, not to be confused with the system's superuser (root).
![]() |
These settings affect only the superuser account. That is, if your Administration Server uses distributed administration, you need to set up additional access controls for the administrators you allow. |
The superuser's user name and password are kept in a file called server_root/https-admserv/config/admpw.
If you forget the user name, you can view this file to obtain the actual name; however, the password is encrypted and unreadable. The file has the format username:password.
If you forget the password, you can edit the admpw file and delete the encrypted password. You can then go to the Server Manager forms and specify a new password.
The following table describes the fields and buttons on the screen. The left column lists the fields and buttons; the right column describes the functionality.
