AE Services administration

The method you choose to access AE Services administration depends on the tasks you want to perform. Refer to Figure 1 and the figure as you read the following descriptions of access methods.

Web browser: : You must use a Web browser to access the Application Enablement Services Management Console (AE Services Management Console). Use the AE Services Management Console to configure the AE Services server. AE Services uses role-based access control (RBAC) to determine what tasks you are allowed to perform using the AE Services Management Console. For example, the default system administrator, cust, has read and write access to all of the administrative features in the AE Services Management Console. For more information about access privileges, see AE Services administrative roles and access privileges (role based access control - RBAC.

Local or remote access to the Linux shell: : Administrators can access the AE Services Linux shell (command prompt) either locally using a system console or remotely using a secure shell (ssh) client. This access method applies primarily to AE Services Technicians (craft users) who perform specific tasks, such as viewing trace logs, installing patches, and so forth. If you plan to use the Linux shell for these kinds of maintenance tasks, see AE Services Administration from the Operating System Command Prompt.
