c-treeACE Server Administrator Utility

The c-treeACE Server Administrator Utility, ctadmn, is used by the Administrator to manage users, groups and files. It can also be used to monitor the users logged on to the c-treeACE Server and to disconnect any user from the c-c-treeACE tree Server.

To use this utility, do the following (which may vary between environments, depending on user-interface specifics):

Start running the program, ctadmn, as any other program in the environment.
Enter an ADMIN group User ID. Initially, only ADMIN will exist until you create others.
Supply the current password for the User ID given.
Note: If this is the first time ctadmn has been run and the password for the User ID ADMIN is still ADMIN, change it before leaving ctadmn to ensure secure access to this program in the future. You can also change your password using ctpass (see "Controlling c-treeACE Server Access").
You will be prompted for the (optional) file password for the file FAIRCOM.FCS. We recommend you do NOT give this file a password since you should already be the only one who can run this utility. To confirm the absence of a password, press the return key.
In response to the next prompt, supply the current name for the c-treeACE Server and press enter. If the c-treeACE Server name has not been changed (see "Basic Configuration Options" for details on SERVER_NAME), simply press Enter to use the default name.

After finishing these steps, the main menus for the c-treeACE Server Administrator Utility will be displayed, allowing access to the following groups of operations:

User Operations
Group Definitions
File Security
Monitor Clients.
Server Information (IOPERFORMANCE)
Server Configuration (SystemConfiguration)
Stop Server

The following sections detail the areas controlled by the Administrator Utility. The steps necessary for each operation may vary slightly in different environments.

Note: While using the Administration Utility, press the question mark key (‘?’) at any prompt to access Help.
