Configuring the Administration Service

The Configure Administration Service wizard creates the Administration Service instance, getting the Administration Service ready for use. The wizard prompts you to supply the following settings:

  • The logon name and password of the account in which this Administration Service instance will be running (service account).

  • The name of the group or user account that will have full access to all Active Roles features and functions through this Administration Service instance (Active Roles Admin).

  • The database in which this Administration Service instance will store the configuration data and management history data.

    You have the option to create a new database, or use an existing database of the current Active Roles version. It is possible to have multiple Administration Service instances use the same database.

  • The authentication mode that this Administration Service instance will use when connecting to the database. You can choose from the following options:

    • Windows authentication: The Administration Service will use the credentials of the service account.

    • SQL Server authentication: The Administration Service will use the SQL login name and password you supply in the wizard.

    • Azure AD authentication: The Administration Service will use username and password of the AD User.

  • Azure Databases can be connected using SQL Server authentication or Azure AD authentication.

To start the wizard, click Configure in the Administration Service area on the Dashboard page in the Configuration Center main window. For more information and step-by-step instructions, see Deploying the Administration Service in the Active Roles Installation Guide.

Configuring the Web Interface

The Configure Web Interface wizard creates the default Web Interface sites, getting the Web Interface ready for use. The wizard prompts you to choose which Administration Service will be used by the Web Interface you are configuring. The following options are available:

  • Use the Administration Service instance running on the same computer as the Web Interface.

  • Use the Administration Service instance running on a different computer.

    This option requires you to supply the fully qualified domain name of the computer running the desired instance of the Administration Service.

  • Let the Web Interface choose any Administration Service instance that has the same configuration as the given one.

    This option requires you to supply the fully qualified domain name of the computer running the Administration Service instance of the desired configuration. If your environment employs Active Roles replication, this must be the computer running the Administration Service instance whose database server acts as the Publisher for the Active Roles configuration database.

To start the wizard, click Configure in the Web Interface area on the Dashboard page in the Configuration Center main window. For more information and step-by-step instructions, see Initial configuration in Installing and configuring the Web Interface in the Active Roles Installation Guide.

Administration Service management tasks

After installing Active Roles, perform the initial configuration task to create the Administration Service instance, getting it ready for use. Then, you can use Configuration Center to:

  • View or change the core Administration Service settings such as the service account, the Active Roles Admin account, and the database.
  • Import configuration data from an Active Roles database of the current version or an earlier version to the current database of the Administration Service.
  • Import management history data from an Active Roles database of the current version or an earlier version to the current database of the Administration Service.
  • View the state of the Administration Service.
  • Start, stop or restart the Administration Service.

For a detailed description of Administration Service management tasks, see Administration Service management tasks in the Active Roles Feature Guide.

Web Interface management tasks

After installing Active Roles, you perform the initial configuration task to create the default Web Interface sites, getting the Web Interface ready for use. Then, you can use Configuration Center to:

  • Identify the Web Interface sites that are currently deployed on the web server running the Web Interface.

  • Create, modify or delete Web Interface sites.

  • Export a Web Interface site’s configuration object to a file
