Using the Administration Console

You can do common server administration and monitoring tasks using the graphical user interface

of the Administration Console and, in Flash MX, the Communication App inspector. These are

Flash applications that Macromedia created using public APIs (application programming

interfaces). The source files for these applications are available on Macromedia’s Flash MX

Support Center (www.macromedia.com/support/flash/). You can use the same ActionScript APIs

to create your own custom administration tools or extend the ones provided with the server.

When you install Flash Communication Server, the installer places the Administration Console

(admin.swf) in the admin directory. If you have the Flash Player installed, you can monitor

and control the server’s activity by launching the Administration Console and connecting to

the server.

With the Administration Console, you can perform the following tasks:

• Check the status of the server and the applications running on it

• Shut down or restart the server, a virtual host, or individual client applications

• Add and edit administrators

• View logs of server connections and other server events

• View and update the server’s license key and its bandwidth and connection limits

As a security feature, when you connect to the server with the Administration Console, the

console actually connects to a separate FlashCom Admin Service that runs in parallel with the

server service. The Admin Service then communicates with the server to perform its

administration functions.

To connect to the Flash Communication Server with the Administration Console:

1 In the Windows Start menu, select Programs > Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX >

Server Administrator. The Administration Console opens in your web browser.

2 In the Host text box, enter the address of the server you want to connect to.

The default address is localhost, which refers to the computer that the Administration Console

is running on. If you are connecting remotely by running the Administration Console on

another computer, enter the address of the server you want to connect to, such as

FlashComServer.myCompany.com or 12.34.56.78. If the

<HostPort> tag in the Server.xml

file is set to a port other than 1111, include the port number after the host name, separated by

a colon. (For more information about server configuration, see Chapter 3, “Configuring Flash

Communication Server,” on page 25.)

3 In the Name and Password boxes, enter the name and password you entered during the Flash

Communication Server installation. If you’ve changed the administrator user name and

password using the Administration Console or manually in the Server.xml file, enter the new

user name and password.

4 If you want the Administration Console to remember your login and password when you use it

in the future, select the Remember Connection Data option.

5 If you want the Administration Console to automatically connect to the server when you open

it, select the Automatically Log In option.

6 Click the Connect button.
