Lasso Professional Server provides a convenient, Web-based interface for configuring Lasso server settings. This interface is referred to as Server Administration.
This chapter provides an overview of Server Administration and is divided into the following sections.
• Accessing Server Administration describes how to connect to Server Administration through a Web browser
• Exploring Server Administration describes the main sections of Server Administration.
• Interface Elements describes the interface elements and conventions used in Server Administration.
• Lasso Internal Databases provides an overview of the internal SQLite databases that power Server Administration and Lasso Professional Server.
Accessing Server Administration
Server Administration is a LassoApp tool which is accessed via a Web browser similar to a standard HTML page. The LassoApp is loaded on-demand by Lasso so does not need to be placed in your Web server root. Server Administration uses the XHTML and CSS standards for rendering pages. Server Administration can be accessed in any Web browser that meets the Web browser requirements listed in the configuration chapters in this guide.
To access Server Administration:
In a Web browser, visit one of the the following URLs. Use localhost if accessing Server Administration from a browser on the same machine as Lasso Service. Otherwise, replace www.example.com with the actual domain name or IP address.
http://localhost/lasso9/admin
http://www.example.com/lasso9/admin
The Web browser should prompt for the server administrator username and password. The Web browser will not prompt if Server Administration has already been accessed using the browser in the current session or if the authentication information has been stored in a keychain, passport, or browser preferences.
If an error is displayed, make sure Lasso Service and the Web server are running as described in the configura- tion chapters of this guide.
Server Administrator Account
Only a person with the server administrator username and password may access Server Administration. The server administrator account is one of the first things that is set up after installing Lasso Professional Server, and is critical to the operation and administration of Lasso. The server administrator username and password should be protected since anyone who has it can make modifications to Lasso’s server settings.
