GIadmin Functions - Using the GIServer Administration Module

Please note: The admin=true, adminName and password properties must be set in giserver/lib/giserver.cfg file in order for the GIserver administration module to access the server. A recent change to GIserver renamed prop.giserver to giserver.cfg and changed the config.username files and config.default to username.cfg and default.cfg. GIserver will first look for a file giserver.cfg and username.cfg, and if not found will look for the older naming convention of the files.

What does it look like?

The GIadmin window is divided into several different areas:

Starting, Stopping, and Exiting GIserver

Setting up User Logins

As described in Setting Properties to Control GIserver, GIserver uses several configuration files that specify valid username/password access to GIserver and the environment that is passed to fpdaemon that handles filepro communication. These files are normally located in the giserver/users directory [or their location is specified by the users property in the giserver.cfg file in the giserver/lib directory]:
