Managing FH Web Edition servers from client machines

Administrators can connect to the FH Web Edition Connection Manager from any client machine. This lets the administrator end processes, terminate sessions, and administer applications from any machine running a FH Web Edition client.

  1. Set the permissions for the FH Web Edition Connection Manager so that only FH Web Edition administrators can access the application.
  2. In Windows Explorer, locate the FH Web Edition\Programs\cm.exe file.
  3. Right-click cm.exe and select Properties.
  4. In the Properties dialog box, select Security.
  5. In the Security dialog box, select Permissions.
  6. In the File Permission dialog box, set the permissions so that only FH Web Edition administrators can execute the application.

    Tip: For help with setting permissions in Windows Explorer, click the Help button in the File Permission dialog box, or press F1 on your keyboard while running Explorer.

  7. Add the FH Web Edition Connection Manager (cm.exe) as a registered application with the FH Web Edition Connection Manager.
  8. From the client machine, log on to a FH Web Edition server as a FH Web Edition administrator, or as a user with administrative rights on the host.

    This will launch the Program Window.

  9. From the Program Window, launch the FH Web Edition Connection Manager by clicking the FH Web Edition Connection Manager icon.

    This icon appears in the Program Window only if the user has administrative rights on the host. You can administer applications and user access as if running the FH Web Edition Connection Manager from the FH Web Edition server.
