Configuring the remote administrator
Overview
The remote WEBDEV administrator is an optional tool provided with WEBDEV 2024 application server. The remote WEBDEV administrator is a WEBDEV site, installed on the deployment Web server. This site allows:
  • the site manager to directly manage their WEBDEV sites installed on the Web server.
  • the server administrator to remotely manage the WEBDEV accounts and the WEBDEV sites installed on the Web server.
In Linux, we recommend that you use the remote administrator to manage the dynamic WEBDEV sites as well as the WEBDEV server.
Regardless of the type of deployment performed, the Web server must be configured to allow the use of remote WEBDEV administrator:
Initial deployment via FTP/HTTPInitial deployment by physical media
Using the remote WEBDEV administratorOperation to perform: Specify the launch addressOperation to perform: Specify the launch address

Remark: For optimal security, we recommend that you use the remote administrator in the following context:
  • SSL access (with a purchased or self-signed certificate).
  • Isolated on a virtual site different from the rest of sites or Webservices and where the AWP protocol is run by a user account created for this purpose only.

Address for starting the remote WEBDEV administrator

To use the remote WEBDEV administrator, the site manager must know the address for starting the remote WEBDEV administrator.
This address must be given to the site manager.
On a Windows server, this address has the following format:
http://Server/WD290AWP/WD290AWP.EXE/CONNECT/WDAdminWeb
where Server corresponds to the name of Web server where WEBDEV Application Server is installed. This name can be:
  • an IP address (for example: 192.178.1.130)
  • the computer name (for example: DocPC)
On a Linux server, this address has the following format:
http://Server/WD290AWP/WD290AWP/CONNECT/WDAdminWeb
or
http://Server/WD290AWP/WD290Awp.exe/CONNECT/WDAdminWeb
where Server corresponds to the name of Web server where WEBDEV Application Server is installed. This name can correspond to one of the following elements:
  • an IP address (for example: 192.168.1.130).
  • the name of the computer (for example: DocPC).
The case sensitivity must be complied with.

Remark: Secure access to the remote administrator

If the remote WEBDEV administrator was secured during its setup (and if an SSL key was installed to secure the remote WEBDEV administrator), the remote WEBDEV administrator will be automatically started in secure mode.
Caution: An SSL key must be installed and all the requirements linked to the SSL protocol must be complied with.
In Windows, a registry key allows you to specify whether the remote WEBDEV administrator must be started in secure mode or in standard mode:
  • Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/PC SOFT/WEBDEV/29.0
  • Value name: SSLADMIN (REG_SZ)
In Linux, simply add the following line into the /etc/PCSOFT/WEBDEV/29.0/WEBDEV.conf file:
SSLADMIN = 1
The value 1 is used to automatically enable the secure mode.
Minimum version required
