Access Control Server Console
This panel displays allows to monitor (and manage) client systems from the Access Control Server.
Warning: this panel is not yet completed. It will be improved in the next releases of the component
The panel is presented in Figure 1.
The panel consists of the following elements:
- The indicator of the name of the machine on which this panel is running
("ACServer:" in Figure 1)
- The indicator of the connection status (green "OK" in Figure 1)
- The table containing the list of all systems in the distributed system.
The first column indicates system number, the second: system name, the third
shows the current setting of the AC Server on that system,
and the last: indicates whether the system is currently being managed by the server.
Right-clicking on the table brings up a context menu. If clicked on the system
machine corresponding to the server itself, the context menu will be such as the one
in Figure 2:
Otherwise, for client machines, the menu presented in Figure 3 will pop up; the top line indicates that
the line for which the menu was displayed corresponds to the AC Server.
Selecting the Set AC Server option in client's context menu,
brings up the sub-menu presented in Figure 4. The top line indicates the name of the client system for
which the context menu was displayed.
