Granting remote administrative access to the server

You use the External Access to Server dialog to specify the server-level users that have remote administrative access to the Enterprise server. The dialog displays a list of all current server-level users. You can grant remote access to all users, to no users, or to specified users.

To access the External Access to Server dialog, select the Set External Access command from the Server menu.

If a user is to administer the Enterprise server remotely over a network, rather than using the machine on which the server is installed, they must do this using the Controller application. To enable them to do this, you must set up a server-level user and give them external administrative access to the server. If you install the Enterprise server as a service, you must do this for anyone who is to administer the server, whether they use the machine on which it is installed or not. Users that are not going to administer the server do not need external administrative access.

If you set up and run more than one Enterprise server on a machine, the remote access you grant applies to all instances of the server that you run.

To display only those users that currently have remote access, check the Show legal users only box. Users that do not have remote access are excluded from the list.
