|   | DEPRECATED for removal since 7.4.0: This endpoint relies on REST to LDAP which is deprecated. Alternative: For monitoring alternatives, refer to the monitoring documentation. For configuration, prefer to use dsconfig. |

The Admin Endpoint provides RESTful access to OpenDJ's monitoring and configuration backends.

## Parent

The Admin Endpoint object inherits from [HTTP Endpoint](objects-http-endpoint.html).

## Admin Endpoint properties

You can use configuration expressions to set property values at startup time. For details, see [Property value substitution](expressions.html).
