DataPortal Server Administration

A DataPortal Server is used to publish DataPortal DataSources so they are available for data transfers to DataPortal clients. A DataPortal Server can be configured, managed and monitored by an authorized administrator using a Web interface. Once a DataPortal Server has been started (** see the instalation and startup information **), the administration area of the server may be accessed by pointing a standard Web browser to

http://DPhost:port/DataPortal/ManageDataPortal.jsp
(where DPhost:port is the DataPortal server host machine and port value, respectively)

To gain access to the DataPortal Server Administration area, an authorized adminstrator needs a valid administrative user name password pair.

Administrative User Names and Passwords
A default administrative user name password pair is available upon instalation of a DataPortal Server. The values will be supplied as part of the original instalation information. It is strongly recommended that the original user name and password be changed immediately. The original user name password values can be used for an initial log in to the DataPortal Administration area. The login form will be presented the first time access to the Administration area is attempted (see Figure 1).


Figure 1) Administration login form.

Once login is successful and access to the Adiminstration Area has been granted, a list of Administration areas is presented (see Figure 2).


Figure 2) Administrative areas.

Select the "Manage Admin. User Names and Passwords" link.  The "Administration Users and Passwords" page should appear (see Figure 3).


 Figure 3) Administration Users and Passwords

The text area for entering user names and passwords should be blank, initially. Administration user name, password pairs may be entered, one per line, user name first separated from the password with blank space. Once all pairs have been entered, the "APPLY" button may be selected to commit the changes, which take effect immediately. The values may be changed, at any time, by repeating this process and editing, removing or adding pairs.

Once one or more user name, password pairs have been entered, the original, default pair will no longer be valid.  If  all user name, password pairs are removed, the system will revert to the original, default pair.
