To add a remote AdminServer manually in OpenEdge Management:
-
From the Management Console menu, choose
one of the following:
- Click Options > Remote AdminServers.
- Click Resources > Remote > AdminServers.
The Remote AdminServer Configuration page appears, displaying a list of local and remote AdminServers. - Click New.
-
In the Add AdminServer
dialog box, perform the following:
- In the Host field, type the host name of the system where the remote AdminServer is running.
- In the Management port field, type the port number of the AdminServer used for remote communication. The default port number is 6835.
-
(Optional) Select the Use
encrypted connection option to secure the communication
between OpenEdge Management and the remote AdminServer. You can use this
option only if you configure the secure connection for the remote
AdminServer. For information on configuring the secure connection for
the remote AdminServer, see Set up secure communication-related security for a remote AdminServer.
The default encryption protocol is TLS 1.3. If the Use encrypted connection option is selected, the default certificates provided by OpenEdge are used.
-
In the Username
and Password fields, type the
username and password of the system hosting the remote
AdminServer.
Note: If you are configuring INI‑based authentication instead of operating system (OS)‑based authentication, enter the INI username in the Username field and the plain‑text INI password in the Password field. OpenEdge Management uses these credentials to authenticate with the AdminServer. For information on configuring INI authentication, see Configure INI authentication for AdminServer and OpenEdge Management communication.
-
Click Save. The
configured AdminServer is displayed in the Online
section of the Remote AdminServer
Configuration page.
Note: If you provide invalid information, OpenEdge Management displays an error. You can click Try Again to make necessary changes to the information you provided earlier.
