Management Console

Pro Server - Management Console

DriveWorks Pro Server Management Console manages the database used to store the information applied in the web application.

It also allows the Pro Server Web Server to be restarted when changes have been within the management console or configuration file.

The configuration file allows manual configuration of more secure settings, such as:

• Changing the default ports Management Console and the Web Application are served on.
• Enabling HTTPS.
• Applying a SSL certificate.

Launch Pro Server Management Console

Once installed, Pro Server Management Console can be launched in the default browser by:

• Clicking DriveWorks Pro Server [version] Management Console from Windows Start menu.

  Or

• Enter the following URL in the browser on the machine DriveWorks Pro Server is installed on:

  localhost:54500/

  54500 is the default port for the Management Console and only applies if this has not been changed in the configuration file.

Once launched the following settings can be applied:

• Database

  Select the server address, authentication and database name to use.

• Administration

  Set the elevation password so items in the Web Application can be administered.

• Configuration File

  The name and location of the configuration file and the time it was last written to.

Database

Server Address

The Server Address to host the Pro Server Database

Trust Server Certificate: More information regarding this can be found at Certificate management (SQL Server Configuration Manager)

Authentication

Select the Authentication method the SQL database has been set up to use:

1. Windows (Recommended)
• To do this, you will need to add the Windows account as users for the SQL instance.
• The Windows user is the same account as the user running the DriveWorks Pro Server service (the account used when installing DriveWorks Pro Server).
2. SQL Authentication
   • If using SQL Authentication enter the Username and Password required to login to the Server

     Please note the password will be encrypted when saved, however other aspects of the connection string will not be encrypted.

The user should have the correct permissions to access the SQL Server. These are:

• CREATE ANY DATABASE
• ALTER ANY DATABASE
• VIEW ANY DATABASE
• CONNECT ANY DATABASE

If you are missing any permissions speak to your IT administrator to be granted these permissions in SQL.

We advise speaking to your IT department if you are unsure about any of the above.
