Administration clients
Administration clients enable you to perform the following tasks
for data stored on the configuration server:
- Manage users, groups, and sessions
- Configure, manage and trace the Re-director service
- Configure Database On-Demand
- Enable security
- View trace and message logs
- Disable functions to end users
Administration clients run on all Host On-Demand client platforms except the Macinstosh operating system. If you are creating HTML files in the Deployment Wizard using either the configuration server-based or combined models, you need to configure sessions on the configuration server using an administration client. Refer to Basic Configuration Steps for more detailed information about configuring the Host On-Demand configuration server.
Host On-Demand supplies the following predefined administration and full administration clients:
- Administration client (HODAdmin.html)
- Loads the download version of the administration client.
- Administration client cached (HODAdminCached.html)
- Loads the cached version of the Administration client. The advantage
of using this client is that it can be cached along with the cached
client in the browser.

To bookmark the cached Administration client, you need to manually create the bookmark. It must point to HODAdminCached.html, so that Host On-Demand can compare the cached version to the server version. This allows Host On-Demand to recognize and notify you that a newer version of the cached Administration client is available at the server. - Administration client cached with problem determination (HODAdminCachedDebug.html)1
- Loads the Administration client in a cached environment with problem determination (session logging and tracing) enabled.
- Full Administration client (HODAdminFull.html)2
- Loads the download version of the full Administration client. The full administration client gives the administrator the additional ability of starting sessions to configure runtime properties. However, the download size of the full administration client is larger than the download size of administration client.
- Full Administration client cached (HODAdminCachedFull.html)2
- Loads the cached version of the full Administration client. Like the cached version of the regular Administration client, this client can be cached along with the cached client in the browser.
- Full administration client cached with problem determination (HODAdminCachedDebugFull.html)1, 2
- Loads the cached version of the full Administration client with problem determination (session logging and tracing) enabled.
Note:
- Use the problem determination clients only if you are working with Support to resolve a problem with your Host On-Demand installation.
- The full Administration client is the Administration client with Start Session enabled.
- If you use a Java–enabled browser, you need to use the Java Control Panel to remove the Administration cached client. For instructions, refer to Using the Java 2 Plug-in .
