Adobe Media Server Administration Console
Adobe Media Server Administration Console is not configured to run by default. To use it, you must enable it in the
ams.ini configuration file and start it.
For general information about the Administration Console, see Using the Administration Console.
Configure the Administration Server
1 In /opt/adobe/ams/conf/ams.ini, set values for the following parameters:
• SERVER.ADMIN_USERNAME = someusername
• SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT = :1111
The first two parameters add one user for the Administration Console. To add additional users, see the next section,
“Add administrators”.
To set the administrator password, perform the following steps:
1 Ensure that AMSAdmin is not running.
2 Execute the following command from the shell:
opt/adobe/ams/amsadmin –console –user someusername
You will be prompted to enter a password. Ensure that the password is atleast 8 characters long.
3 Go to Users.xml and check for the salted hash of your password under the password tag.
4 Restart the server:
./amsmgr server ams restart
5 Open port 1111 in the Security Group of the instances you want to administer. Open the port only to the IP
addresses that are allowed to access the Administration Server. See
“Modifying a Security Group” on page 22.
Start, stop, or restart the Administration Server
1 Do one of the following to connect to the instance over SSH:
• “Connect to an instance and copy files from a Windows computer” on page 31 (To start or stop the
Administration Server connect with PuTTY, not WinSCP. WinSCP is for copying files.)
• “Connect to an instance and copy files from a Linux/UNIX computer” on page 34
2 Enter the following to change to the Adobe Media Server root installation directory:
cd /opt/adobe/ams
3 To start, stop, or restart the server:
./amsmgr adminserver start | stop | restart
Add administrators
1 To add administrators for a particular application, copy a Users.xml configuration file from opt/adobe/ams/conf
to /mnt/applications/myapplication. Add a
<User></User> section to the Users.xml file with the username and
password of the administrator.
See “Configure an application” on page 38.
2 You can optionally specify which IP addresses and domains each administrator is allowed to connect from
<Allow></Allow>, and which IP addresses and domains each administrator is not allowed to connect from
<Deny></Deny>.
