About the configuration tools

You can access and modify the server configuration in two ways.

Admin console

The server provides an admin console for graphical server management and monitoring. The console functions are equivalent to the dsconfig tool for viewing or editing configurations.

All configuration changes using the admin console are recorded in logs/config-audit.log, which also has the equivalent reversion commands if you need to undo a configuration.

dsconfig Command-line tool

The dsconfig tool is a text-based menu-driven interface to the underlying configuration. The tool runs the configuration using three operational modes:

  • Interactive command-line mode

  • Non-interactive command-line mode

  • Batch mode

All configuration changes made using this tool are recorded in logs/config-audit.log.

You can generate a summary of your server’s configuration to help you plan any modifications.
