Administrative Domains

Administrative domains provide a basic security structure whereby different administrators can administer specific groups (domains) of application server instances. By grouping the server instances into separate domains, different organizations and administrators can share a single Application Server installation. Each domain has its own configuration, log files, and application deployment areas that are independent of other domains. If you change the configuration for one domain, the configurations of other domains are not affected.

In an Admin Console session, you can configure and manage a multiple domains. Each domain has its own Domain Administration Server (DAS), which has a unique port number. You specify the port number in the URL of your browser to run the Admin Console. Each administrative domain can have multiple application server instances; however, an application server instance may belong to just one domain. When you installed the Application Server, an administrative domain named domain1 was automatically created.
