Accessing the Administrative Console

You can use the advanced functions provided in the administrative console to change settings in your server configuration.

About this task

The WebSphere® Application Server, no longer needs you to enable the administrative console in the server editor. The development environment no longer has the server configuration in the workspace. By default, the administrative console is enabled in the default profile of the server.

Attention: Server-specific configurations for WebSphere Application Server are now set in the WebSphere Administrative Console. The configuration settings that are specific to an enterprise application can be set using the WebSphere Application Server Deployment editor. Use the WebSphere Application Server Deployment editor to configure the following configurations that are specific to an enterprise application:

Data sources
Embedded resource adapters
Class loader policies
Substitution variables
JAAS authentications
Shared libraries
Virtual hosts

Note: These advanced functions are only for advanced users.

To access the administrative console:

Procedure

Start the WebSphere Application Server.
In the Servers view, right-click the server, and then select Administration > Run administrative console. The Administrative Client logon window opens in the Web Browser view.
If the server is secured, specify the user ID and password to access the administration console.
Click the Log in button.

Results

Once you have made changes, you need to restart the server.
