Last updated 9/20/2013
3 Restart the server and the Administration Server:
./amsmgr adminserver restart
./amsmgr server ams restart
Note: When you edit a configuration file, restart Adobe Media Server. When you edit the Users.xml configuration file,
restart Adobe Media Server and Flash Media Administration Server.
Secure the Administration Console
❖ To limit access to the Administration Server at a global level, edit the Server.xml configuration file. For information,
see
Limit access to Adobe Media Administration Server.
Connect to the Administration Console
1 Open a web browser and enter the following into the address bar:
http://public-dns/ams_adminConsole.htm
For example:
http://ec2-184-72-164-117.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ams_adminConsole.htm
The Administration Console is located on the instance in the following directory:
/mnt/webroot/ams_adminConsole.htm
2 In the Server Address box, enter the Public DNS of the instance.
3 Enter the administrator username and password.
The username and password are stored in the /opt/adobe/ams/conf/ams.ini file.
For security reasons, the administration console does not save your password between sessions.
4 (Optional) Select the Automatically Connect Me option.
5 (Optional) Click Revert to return the Administration Console to its default settings.
Reverting deletes all saved servers, user names, and passwords from the Administration Console. All custom
resizing within the Administration Console is restored to the original state. (The Revert button, however, does not
affect the server.)
6 Click Login.
You can disconnect at any time by clicking Logoff.
Run the Administration Console from another computer
To run the Administration Console from a computer other than the one hosting the instance, copy
ams_adminConsole.htm, ams_adminConsole.swf, and AC_RunActiveContent.js from /opt/adobe/ams/tools to the
other computer.
Verify that the Allow and Deny tags in the Users.xml file allow the connection from the other computer’s IP address.
Using the Administration API
The Flash Media Administration Server has an API that you can use to monitor and administer the server. You can
call Administration APIs over RTMP and HTTP.
