Administration Page

Enabling the Administration Page

If you used the Linux, Windows, or All Platforms installation kits, the administration page is already enabled.

If you used the Web Application Archive version, you need to manually enable the Administration Page by following these steps:

1. Configure Tomcat to use a security Realm element. Refer to the Tomcat Documentation for more information.
2. Edit the tomcat-users.xml file from your Tomcat installation and configure a user for the admin role, as in the following example:

   <tomcat-users>
     <role rolename="admin"/>
     <user username="USERNAME" password="PASSWORD" roles="admin"/>
   </tomcat-users>

3. Your Administration Page is now enabled. To access it, go to the following URL:

   http://example.com:8080/oxygen-webapp/app/admin.html

   where http://example.com:8080/oxygen-webapp is the URL of your instance of the Oxygen XML Web Author Component.
4. You will be prompted for authentication credentials and you will enter those configured in the steps above.
